Personally, I think a clean car with no tint looks the best, however its getting hot in So. Ca and it's only matter of time before I need to tint my windows. I've used Solar Guard in the past and the results were decent, but seems like Llumar/Formula One is the higher end stuff that everyone recommands, so I'm going to give them a try. After searching the forums many times, I'm seeing a bunch of different shades of Llumar tints and a bunch of different darkness%. Some of you have very nice looking tint, but I can't find the darkness % on the Llumar official website. Either you guys got your % wrong or Llumar makes a lot more shades then they list on their website? Also, Llumar makes 3 different "range" of tint- Premium, Titanium, and Platinum. My car is brilliant black, and I'm not too sure if the metalic look will go with a brilliant black cars. I've seen it on silver and it matches the car nicely, but I personally think it looks a bit tacky when its too reflective on black. I'm going for a more charcoal look and this is what they said they offer on the website, so my question is what's the difference between the Premium line compared to the Titanium line? Both line offer Medium Charcoal at 37-38%, which one should I go with? And another tint that interest me is the Titanium mdeium BLUE 32%, is that the one that looks like the Mercedes Benz AMG windows? The bluish look? If you have LLumar or Formula One, please show it off, and please include which line of tint you used (premium, titanium, or platinum). THNX!
