most likely going to have my windows tinted today and wanted to know if there's anything better than 3M...or is 3M even good?

thanks

Every manufacturer makes some high end film, and some rather cheap films, look at that price you are paying, that is usually a clue. Manufacturer name alone means squat in tinting. Some of the best films out there are made by the same people that make some marginal "economy" films. Find a shop and tinter you trust.

I've used LUMAR , Solar Ray and 3M before, they've all lasted for a LONG time. IMO though I liked the 3M the best. That's just my $.02, all of them were pretty high in quality.

The Sungard tint looks interesting to me. 68% heat rejection from 12% tint.

ssvegas, what percentages did you end up getting? Price? I'm assuming you're in Nevada.
