Does anyone know which tint is better?
3M or Huper Optik?
Im not trying to go for darkness, just want to block out UV and heat.

wow 35% seems very popular..
in NY people usually get 20's..
35% seems a little too light in IMO, especially if you have a light interrior

rupdog, how much did you pay to get the Solarguard installed?
Thinking about doing all the windows 75% including winshield (for UV protection and to block out heat)

if you just want uv and heat protection but not the darkness....i would go with ceramic although it is slightly more expensive

G35Swagger, how easy/hard is it for you to drive at night?

I would be concerned if someone in front of me forgot to turn on their lights and I won't be able to see them.

I don't have mine at all, because I can't find a shop in Columbus, GA that does 3M or Huper Optik.

my parents live in columbus, ga...every time i visit i could never see any infinitis down there since they don't have a dealership down there. i've gotten my tint on previous cars done there...pretty good quality tint.

this time around, i'm leaving my car untinted cause it's easier to see everything on the road which is both beneficial for myself and other drivers around me

23% except WS.

Is it not illegal in all 50 to tint the WS below the 5" mark on the WS. Who the f*&$ would heatshrink the WS. Laminated glass (the WS) will absorb to much heat and will most likely cuase the WS to break or crack. I bet your insurance provider would LOVE the fact you have tinted WS!
