I have 15% Lluma ceramic on the sides and rear now; great tint. What 3M did you go with, their ceramic?
It was their FX Premium, dyed not ceramic. Wanted it but it's mad pricey

Thanks for posting the pics. Just to be sure, that is with 15% on the front two doors and 15% put over the factory tint on the back two doors and rear window right? Does it seem much darker than factory rear tint? Would you say it's about the same as putting 5% on a non-tinted window? Kinda hard to tell in the pics. Thanks

Yes that's 15% over the front sides that had nothing and 15% over the rear windows that came with the factory. The tints actual level is 17% if I remember correctly. That puts the rear at the 5% level. The fronts feel like how the rear was factory and the rear is darkened up but I can still see out of it. It's actually to me a bit light. I have a Platinum as well with 50% on the front sides and 15% on the rear. You can still see through the trucks from the back window from the outside (this truck less so now with the windshield done but usually it's still feasible).

Thanks. How is it out the back/back sides at night?

It's good. I can see pretty well out. It's dark and noticeable but if you adjust for a moment you can manage well enough to manuever around.

5% over factory tint you can't see anything really backing out at night only and have to lower windows when it's dark but during the day is fine and the 35% windshield during the day or night is perfectly visible to see out of

5% on all windows with 5% brow. Can't see through back windows at all and can only see in the front windows if you up close touching them with your hands blocking the sun. And from the front you can barely see my hats hanging from the rear view mirror. I don't see any reason why anyone would need it darker.
