No way. What about your privacy!

[QUOTE=stealth.pilot;16915090]Okay since you don't want too dark, but you want high quality protection - I have the best suggestion.

What you should do is get Prestige Photosync 75. This film has the highest heat rejection because it also rejects the most IR of any film on the market. It rejects the same amount of heat as 3M colorstable 5% or 3M Crystalline 30%. Also you can get even more heat rejection by getting a darker Photosync - 75% is the lightest. It lets through 75% of the light and has a very slight blue tint which means it looks like glass. It would look awesome on your Silverstone car.QUOTE]

I have the Prestige Photosync 60 and am very happy with it.

I used Crystaline 35 on mine

I prefer legal limit on the sides (both front and back windows) and then a shade darker for the back window above the trunk.

Thanks.

I had mine done on this car, the GC and the M3 at http://www.oasiswindowtintingatlanta.com/, just north of Buckhead in Sandy Springs.

They will do a great job, nothing in that place but high end.

I also did Suntek CXP in ~20. My windows are very dark though, never had an issue with it in Atlanta.

Here is a pic of my car with the PhotoSync. 45% on the sides and back, 70% on the windshield. Sorry, but I didn't take this pic in front of the yacht club

Thanks, that place is a lot more convenient than Canton.

This is mine with 3M crystalline 50% rear and 35% front. Indonesia has no rule regarding window tinting. However as you go darker, the harder you will find to drive at night
