Window tint is done...pict

The shop I decided to go to did a nice job, they offered either Madico or llumar. The difference between them is Madico is Ceramic based while llumar is metallic. Madico only offers 1 color (Charcoal), llumar has more choices. If you have a GPS, use a radar detector or or listen to FM radio, Ceramic will not affect transmision, metallic have some effect.

another good thing with this shop, is that they ask you to come back 2 weeks later for final inspection, and make sure everything settled nicely.

I am not sure I like it yet, I may have gone too Dark, the front is 35% and the back is 15%. Maybe I should have gotten 35% back and 50% front (Madico comes in 8%, 15%, 35% and 50%). The Manager/Owner assured me that if I wasn't satisfied I could come back and he will change it for me (I guess the film is fairly easy to remove with the proper chemical). What do you guys think?

I think it looks great. You might have to get use to it though because you are use to the lighter tint. It looks good with the black, I would leave it the way it is.
