Finding objective reviews online is a lesson in futility (duh), so thought I'd ask you good folks what has been used (past and present). Only asking because I haven't tinted a car in 30ish years and the technology has advanced beyond my limited knowledge. Thoughts and recommendations?

3M Crystalline. Best tint on the market, IMHO. I have 40 percent all around on my car (find my road trip threads for pics).

Llumar Stratos (their best IR blocking). 40 on sides, 35 on rear. Looks very classy and OEM. Not too dark, just perfect..

I also put their Air 80 on the windshield and cannot tell it’s there, except it blocks the heat.

My '19 CGTS is in the shop getting tint right now. Can't wait to see it tomorrow! Went with ceramic 35%.

I can't remember exactly what I got, but I chose the highest quality stuff the installer had (the most expensive--naturally) and the darkest legal tint here in Australia. I also went with the one that didn't block 'phone signals.

I've done it this way for the last 3 cars and haven't been disappointed at all.

I've been very happy with llumar formula one.

Llumar Stratos is the top film in the FormulaOne line.. see pdf link above. Been very impressed with mine so far.

I've got SunTek CXP-35 (ceramic, 35%- the legal limit in Georgia) on side and rear windows on two cars and its been good. I'd go a bit darker if it was allowed. My installer informed me SunTek won't honor warranty claims against against any tint installed above the legal limit. Not sure if that is true for all brands.

@RotorOver: not intending to hijack the thread, but hope you’re liking your S (that I nearly bought). Note our m240i and cayman S in my pic above.

You obviously have excellent taste in cars! Loving the CS. So happy with how capable the car is. Blessed to get to drive and enjoy both.
