Default Window Tint types

I finally just got my '11 GT... waited 16 weeks and, so far, it was worth the wait.
First things first; tint. Is there a brand or type thats better than others? I want high UV protection and dont know if there is a difference at all in types/brands??
Ill be going 30% front, 20% back.

Llumar tint is the best on the market in my opinion.

Llumar, Madico, 3m, Formula One Pinnacle are great brands, I hear Solar Guard is decent also.

Ceramic film is the best there is and all of them^^ make it I believe.

i have llumar and it is great. 35% front/20% rear. love it. got the high performance film. apparently they also make a lower grade film that is a little cheaper, but IMO its better to go with the best for $50 more

I just had mine tinted with Madico 20% all around. I have had this brand on all my vehicles and it has held up very nice. I'm sure all the major name brands are pretty close in quality.

LLumar is the tops for the $$ spent.
Nothing is good if the install is carp.
