Window Tinting Material !!
I've read through alot of threads regarding tinting and the majority of the threads talk about what percent tint everyone plans on getting, how much it costs and where they got it.
However, i've noticed that everyone leaves out what tint material they got and why.
So here goes:
1) What tint material did you get?
2) Why did you get that material vs your other choices?
3) How long have you had it and has it held up, ie, color, bubbles, etc.
4) Other information you feel like divulging.
My choices that i'm looking @ is:
1) Suntek Carbon
2) Madico Onyx
3) 3M
Which of the 3 should i get?
Thanks guys!

Although this should go in the tinting thread...
It has not peeled, faded, scratched (he installed moleskin), or any other weird funky stuff.
4) These tints do not affect the key or radio, so it was good for me.
However the tints don't look perfectly black on the outside under certain lighting. But that is only at certain angles. You would not be able to see into the car unless you were eye level, and only then you see shapes. Looking outside everything is fine, just a little darker obviously.
I don't know about the other types... but 3M works for me.
