Best Quality Window tint?

Whats the best quality tint (in terms of durability, color, ease of application etc) that you guys have found? Just had my RRS S/C tinted and I am not pleased with the color. Has the slightest hue of green to it and with white on white thats not gonna fly. Looking for tint that looks factory and most importantly does NOT have a noticeable hue of any color in it! Thanks for your time guys.

http://www.huperoptik.com/Automotive.html - need to make sure you get an experienced installer - can be difficult and takes a couple of weeks for all the bubbles to get out.

I was going to suggest the same as jhbrennan. I have huperoptik as well. It is a commercial grade film so it is harder to install than most. There are only a handful of installers that will use the film and can install it. I had to drive a little longer than usual to get mine done. The heat rejection is second to none as well as the optics.

There are other good ceramics out there as well. I am not a tint pro but trust my tinter on his recommendations. I had tint installed on the two front windows of my Cayenne a while back and he matched it pefectly since it has no green/blue/silver tint to it.

slykmr - I used the 30% just like jhbrennan. Anything over that becomes impossible to install or downright painful. The film is very thick and unforgiving.

In regards to the CayenneS - he used Lumar 35% Ceramic.
