Looking for any recommendations, and if you know a tinter in Phoenix, that would be great too.
Which 3M tint, they have several? If the Crystalline, that seems to be a reasonable deal, based on what others have posted. It's expensive, but has superior heat rejection, which is probably what you're looking for? If you search the forum you'll find several other recommendations, although most recommendations seem to be for the color / "look" and not necessarily for how effectively they reject heat.
