Which film for tinting?

So I just picked up a new 2012 535xi M Sport. I am looking to get the windows tinted asap. Which film would you recommend and why? Madico's Charcool, 3M OR Sun Teck.

I live in CA and don’t want something to dark where I am going to get pulled over.

did 35% all around with ceramic llumar tint, light enough in day time where I dont think cops have looked twice. As its ceramic doesn't matter light or dark does the same job.

Do you have any pics of your window tint? Specifically I am interested to see the rear door windows, the part that doesn't roll down and the rear window where the defroster is. I am curious to see how your installer did the edges near the dot matrix. Thanks!

I use Madico Charcool 35% on all 5 windows & 50% on the windshield on all of my cars ... always looks great and clear from the inside and out!
