Best window tinting films?

Im about to get my windows tinted soon, i want 10% all around but im not sure which are the nicest and best films. I want that nice black glossy look, and a film that will last me a lifetime. Ive heard of 3M, Llumar, and others, but I dont know which exactly looks best. Can any1 point me in the right direction, and if possible, post a few pics with the brand name? Thanks

+1 on Formula One

Got the 28% metallic ones on the sides and 15% ceramic one on the back, same as xbuhhx. The heat rejection is awesome.
