Hopefully you Supercab guys get good fitting kits too! Glad to see this little appearance improvement taking off as well as LEDs! Will give them a lot of good business and will make everyone's rides look great.
I originally got tint from Northern Tint & Graphics LLC.com because they are low cost, nice quality. I was just un-happy with the charcoal like appearance compared to the very deep dark factory rears on my truck.
I have been using TintZoom.com for all of my recent projects and for myself since they use the high quality Llumar brand film only. Llumar is very nice looking, functioning ( heat rejection ), and clear clarity film. I am just un-happy with my metallized look from the ATR series 5% on my front glass.
The 3rd option, which I am buying some for my truck to replace the 5% Llumar, is FilmVantage. They offer a couple brands of high quality films such as Llumar, Suntek, and 3M. My research has rendered the results that 3M Color Stable is the very best tint you can have for heat rejection, and a dark black appearance like factory privacy glass. They charge the most out of the two other stores however, but from what I have seen the 3M film is worth it. I have some 3M Color Stable 20% to go in my bud's g/fs 2011 Escape, should be installing on Tuesday, I am anxious to do the job and see the results before I buy for myself.
So there ya go! 3 stores, and a lot of blab from me

.I have used Llumar in the past so I'm glad they use it. Was looking for mainly that or 3M. Normally I've made my own patterns but it's a pain so I figured the pre cuts would be easier.

I ordered my 3M Color Stable 5% for my front 2 windows last night from FilmVantage. $69 shipped. Called them today for a small chat and some in-depth comparing from Llumar series films to 3M's. I was "guaranteed" that the 3M Color Stable will appear as close if not exact, to the black-ness of the OEM privacy glass color. Will not stand out as painfully bright as charcoal tint or metalized films. Can't wait to get it!

Yeah, got mine today and the piece for the front door isn't tall enough, is that the same situation as yours?

Now I am curious. What model year is yours Joe?(Sorry if I missed it) On my 05 Scab the front door pillar measures 19.75 high and 4 inches wide tapering to 3.5 at the top. The back door -same height 19.75, bottom width is 4.375(3/8ths) tapering to 4 inches at the top. Can a Screw owner measure theirs?
