I have a SSM as well with 35% rear, 50% front.. it's a real light tint. Just personal preference though. Didn't want to get anything too dark.

There's a pic of it. I also got Pinnacle tint (ceramic based/non-metallic) from FormulaOne with moleskin installed.

If your car has navi. You need to use a non metallic tint. The tint has to be dyed or "ceramic" LLumar does not make a non metalic tint. Well that is not totally correct they make dyed tint but It will fade over the course of time and start to look purple. Although it has a warranty that says it wont. Formula one offers a cermic tint. The tint is called PINNICLE. Formula one is not the same as PINNICLE so dont let them tell you it is. Pinnicle is a brand of tint from formula one its ceramic. Huper Optics makes an awesome ceramic tint. From what I have read it has some of the highest ratings. Although I think 35% is the darkest you can get. If you want real dark go with the pinnicle.

Pinnicle = ceramic tint ======>navi cars
formula one = matalic tint====>non navi cars
huper optiks = ceramic tint ===>navi car
llumar = metalic and dyed. ===>non navi cars

Hope this helps.

Agreed. Good info. By the way, Huper Optics can be rather expensive but I hear they are good tints (a guy on this forum spent close to $500 on them, not sure if that is the standard rate, but they are more expensive).
To offer a guide to you about the tint ratings (IMO, although I don't know how helpful it is because my "very light" might not be yours):
50%: very light
35%: slightly dark
20%: dark
15%: very dark
5%: is this window painted?
You can click my sig for pics of 35% all around (the ebony interior makes it seem darker, so you should think about your interior color when tinting.
