I have Hüper Optik Ceramic 50% all the way around including windshield. I also have factory sunshades and solar roof and my interior always stays cool. I really don't know how much the tint helps as I had mine tinted within the first week of taking delivery. Tom from theartoftint.com did mine and I am very satisfied with the job that he did on my car. I'm posting some pics of my car, but it looks different under different lighting conditions. There's also more pics of other cars that he did on his web page.

Thanks Eric for the photos, no way I would have done a better job. I'm also using the 50% which seems perfect for me although in the showroom I thought it was too dark until I backed it outside... your last two pictures show the 50% at it's best..you can plainly see how non-dark it truly is in the last photo yet the photo above it makes it look darker, notice center post..excellent job.
I had a chance to compare the effectiveness since mine was tinted using a quality tint before I got it but it was too dark for me and I knew nothing about this ceramic tint.

I really don't remember the exact price(5years ago) but it was in the neighborhood of $600-700 but that includes the windshield. I strongly believe you get what you pay for. Sure, I could have some teenager do a half-*** job on my brand-new car and save a few$, but it wasn't worth it to me. Tom is a true professional and an expert at what he does, it definitely was worth every penny.

Thanks for the compliments and yes they are 19" A8 wheels
