Recommendations for tint

Looking for recommendations for brand, type and composition of Tint for my new X1. I am in Texas so tint is a must!

3M Crystalline.
A few people I know have gone with Huper Optik and no complaints.
Llumar is another to consider.

I'm running Huper Optik ceramic and have no regrets. The heat rejection is great.

I debated 3M Crystalline as well and in the end I went with Huper because I preferred the color of Huper (they are pretty similar performance wise though). Both brands are on the pricier side for tint, but I think it's money well spent over the cheaper offerings from Suntek and Llumar.

I was trying to remember what I had done on my WRX many many moons ago - Huper Optik was it. It had really great heat rejection. I did see a good side by side comparison between Huper and Crystalline - Huper won. I have Suntek on my wife' scar and it doesn't reject IR nearly as well as the Huper did, but I don't know exactly which Suntek it is, it is supposed to be ceramic.

I am off to get Huper installed!!! Thanks for the recommendations.
