Well I went to Sun Stoppers on East Independence Blvd.
The whole address is 14105 E. Independence Blvd, Matthews, NC 28105.
Its up by Indian Trails. The phone is 704-893-0097.
They did it one morning really quickly without an appointment. They were pretty nice. They gave me the 5% on the 1/4s for free. I got the high end film, so it costs 180 total. It has lifetime warranty against fading, and won't interfere with GPS or Cell phone comm.
Good luck man. Leme know how it goes.

Thanks man. I have some questions...

High end film? What does that entail?
Did they use moleskin? Charge?
How long did it take them for the install?
Can I take another look at your car to check out their work?

Basically, the way they explained it to me was that there were two types of film: There was a normal film that they use (nothing amazing, just better than walmart stuff), which the guy said had a limited waranty as was going to fade eventually. He also said that the metallic properties in the film could affect cell phone and GPS reception.. So I decided to go with the carbon film, which was like $20 more. It has a lifetime warranty and the materials will not affect cell phone or GPS. You can check it out if you want. They didn't use moleskin, but they said that if the window film got scratched they would replace it free. Hope that helps. I could get you the name of a place to "inspect it" if you decide to go less that 35..
Its gonna cost $40 everytime tho...
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I have an appointment setup tomorrow with SunStoppers. Just have to decide between 35% and 20%. Any last minute opinions??

Here's mine, it's 15% all around. I like it because when it's parked you can't see inside and it stays a lot cooler sitting in the summer sun. A local place did it for $120.00 including moleskin.
