Finally got mine done...after two weeks of no tint, it was killing me! I went with Formula 1 cermaic. Got it for $400 out the door (starting price was $469). Not a lot of decent options in Raleigh. They would only put 40% (legal is 35 in NC) since they said there is some factory tinting and it would meter illegal. Since NC does charge for and meter at the annual inspection, they wouldn't do darker. I would have preferred darker, but it's not a huge deal for me.

I didn't think to remove the sticker but thankfully the tint shop did. Also the put a 4" scratch right by the gas tank. I was LIVID!!! It really doesn't appear to be too bad, nothing that a detail shop shouldn't be able to buff out (on the shop's tab of course). But still!!!!
