Tint question - 3M Tint good/bad?

Has anyone used 3M tint before? Are you happy/unhappy with the overall look? Thank you.

[removed post about 3m film]

Sorry, skipped the subject line. You are talking about tint not protective film.

I've had 3M tints on 3 cars during the last few years. They're scratch resistant and from my experience, never peeled off. They tend to be a tad thicker than other less expensive brands.

I've used 3M and it works great with no interference with the vehicle electronics or nav receiver. It is a nice charcoal gray color. I've also used Madico, and it works great too and is less expensive. That has a slight green gray color. I still prefer 3M overall for quality and color.

Thanks for all the help. Are those lines I see on the very back windows of the pics you posted or just reflection? Is it just me or does that 35% look kinda dark? Just the camera angle/ time of day? Since I have a black / black X I didn't want it too dark, any opinions? Thanks again for all the input, it's greatly appreciated.

Hi Banana
No its a pretty mild tint which is just what I wanted to.
I think the lines in the photo are just a reflection and it isnt as dark in real life.
