Looks awesome! If you get a moment, do you think you could post a pic of the full side profile of the car? Want to get a preview..After almost 2 months of waiting, I finally got my clear side markers installed (first shipment didn't arrive after 40 days but the replacement shipment took just under 2 weeks).
I love how they seem to catch the light and look like they're glowing, even when the lights aren't on (I installed amber LED bulbs so the lights definitely aren't on in this image). It's kind of cool how you can see the light from the back of the car too since they protrude out a bit in the middle.
Sure, I'll try to get one tomorrow morning. I just had my tinting redone this afternoon, so hopefully the windows look a bit better after the tinting has set a bit.
Which tint did you get? Was gonna get mine tinted today, but was overwhelmed by the number of films available, as well as the price differences.
That's partly correct. Crystalline is the most expensive, but is the way to go to reject the maximum amount of heat. It reflects about 97% of the harmful infrared away from your interior, and about 60% of the heat. HOWEVER, the crystalline is more of a film than a tint in that it lets 90% of the light into your car. Your car won't look tinted other than being a slightly brownish color.Which tint did you get?

From what I've learned, ceramic film or 3M crystalline is the way to go to reject the maximum amount of heat, correct?
Side note: since I didn't get Desiree tinted, I wiped down the interior and cleaned and conditioned the leather seats. She's shining on the inside now, too!
Thank you so much for the detailed answer! It really helps narrow it down for me.That's partly correct. Crystalline is the most expensive, but is the way to go to reject the maximum amount of heat.

Ceramic also reflects heat at about 60%, and blocks about 80% of infrared. It has the different levels of darkness that you can choose from to gauge how much light you want to let in. This makes a nice difference at night because of glare reduction. Also looks badass.
Overview (should have started with this)
Crystalline
The more expensive option
-97% infrared blocking
-60% heat blocking
-10% light blocking
Ceramic
The cheaper option
-80% infrared blocking
-60% heat blocking
-customizable to any percentage of light blocking
As a side note, crystalline actually feels quite a bit cooler than the percentages would make it seem, but I think of tint as being a visual accessory as well, and balance it between looks and functionality. I have the ceramic tint on mine.
Also, just don't even bother getting the standard tint option.
