Also if you care about heat reduction you have to do the windshield. A 75% tint won't be noticeable on windshield - I had it on my 2013 M5.

30 or 35% is a pretty dark tint. I would go for 75%. Look at Prestige Photosync 75. That will block a lot of heat (better than any non-Prestige dark tint) and it will preserve the OEM look.

The OEM glass is already filtering UV.

I initially wasn't going to tint mine, but the guy that wrapped my chrome and did the clear bra offered it to me for a ridiculous price, so I went ahead and did it. SOOOO glad. It looks WAY better in my opinion. At least against the white paint. I didn't go crazy dark, just a little bit to simplify the visuals on the car.

I like that as you can still see into the car some. What percent please?

The Crystalline is a competing film. Statistically Prestige performs better but is also more expensive. Crystalline would be my second choice.
