I sent an email to Huper Optik and they don't have any dealers anywhere near me. They said that if I find someone who will install it for me though, they will contact them regarding shipping and installation.

I just droped my black FD to get 15% on the back and sides and 30% on the front windshield. I will let you guys know how it looks when I go back and pick it up.

I've never been a fan of straight black. It doesn't look nice IMO. I like the most reflective black you can get. Very much like Compilez's FD. It' not a mirror tint, it's a black tint, but w/ a reflective mirror-like layer on it which makes it look like a mirror in the sunlight. NO, that's not the same as mirror tint, cuz mirror tint doesn't have ANY black to it, it's straight up silver mirror tint, and is mirror inside and out LOL (yea, so those guys w/ progressive mirror tint from complete at the bottom to faded at the top can't see ANYTHING from the bottom of their windows...

)

As for the % tint, I've been in a car w/ 5%, and you're right, you can't see JACK from the inside when it's at night. Headlights are barely visible, so good luck changing lanes! I have 35% myself, and I think it's ok, but not all that. I will be going w/ 20%, which is illegal, but considerably darker. I have excellent visibility right now from the inside, and too much visibility from the outside. 35% looks like a "stock" tint IMO. I want the outside visibility to be less, esp. considering the 1001 electronics and gauges we run inside.

Oh and here's another pic of the BLACK tint w/ reflective coating, much like the one I have (sorry, don't have a pic of my car on me right now)
