Calgary Tint?

Hi, since I can't post on Beyond I guess I'll post here see if any Calgarians can suggest something.

I heard many good things about Shadow Tint. The next 2 which come up on my list are Icon and Stay Cool. Does anyone know anything about these 2? Or should I stick with Shadow Tint?

Thanks!

Shadow did my 3M but Icon did my tint.

Both are excellent

What level of tinting did you use? I am still debating hard on whether to go for the medium or dark tint. I am afraid the dark tint will be too harsh at night.

Medium all around is plenty dark for me. Dark would be too much IMO.

This and that.
I went 35% all around. Don't like the staggered tint look. Love it.

I had mine done at Refine Auto Salon. Agree with infected, dark is definitely a bit too much. Medium is more than sufficient.

Thanks for the advices! I got my tint at Shadow Tint yesterday and I am happy with it. I went with medium for the back 3 and light for the front 2. I wish I had gone dark though. My other cars OEM tint is darker than this medium
