Huper Optik Ceramic Tint

anyone done ceramic tint from huper optik?
if so, what %?
can you post some pics?

in looking at possible tints for my smart, i think ceramic is the way to go, more heat reflection without the drug-dealer darkness. also more OEM-looking without reflectivity or metalized look.

it's a bit more expensive, but the smart's pretty small and if it can block the heat, it'll be worth it.

anyone?

I'll post pics later but the Huper is great. I feel no heat from window with 108 degree outside temp and pounding sun on the window. The tint was darker than i thought it would be. We're very pleased with the Huper Optix!!!

I did mine with the Huber Optik film. It's awesome and keeps the car very cool. I am going back to have the entire windshield done with the lightest to cut the heat down. I went for the 70 ( i think) which is the second to the lightest becaue in CA I didn't want to risk getting a ticket and then having to remove it. I think the product is superior to any other including 3m.
