If you are into maximum comfort in car....3M worth it with a caveat the lots of cars with 3M has issues with smart tag detection, other than that, its all good unless if you get a fake one (there are fake 3M and VKool out there, price of being popular old birds on tint premium market). Make sure to get from trust-worthy source.
There are also many ranges for each brand, if you get the lowest range, you pay the price of varied low quality as well.
For 1k+, forget about premium but still can lar for some people, they don't sleep in car like I do...hahaha...
I personally think most dark tint will fade one way or another when going into a decade. TSER performance will definitely decrease. It applies to most tints, difference is how much each degrade overtime. Most tints does not provide performance warranties unfortunately (sometime like garantee won't drop more than 10% over certain years). Most only provide warranty on defects, peeling, distortion or in VKool case, oxidisation..
As for privacy, the rear can go as dark as you want...so can go max privacy as long as you can still see thru the rear windscreen clearly. Can go pump pump with someone there...
However front, need privacy meh...unless you don't want ppl to see you pick nose..hehe...
Actually I found anything above 50++ is already very good for front side and windscreen. For me, anything below will be too dark but then it really depends on preference. If you keep the front at 50 to 60 VLT, they are pretty clear that I doubt you will be stop in any roadblock unless you face looks very suspicious...

Try PM dog999, he got many sources. Been around for ages.
3m those authorise shop shall safe enuf?
i dont really aim for premium, maybe a midrange should be sufficient.
regarding performance guarantee, i feel this very vary, as the way the measure standard is different from each ppl, each shop and method of measuring. Those sales man can use the uv heat lamp and walk near n far etc which they do not use a standard method to measure. Agree on claiming are mostly on defect/distort/peel/bubble those . .
Privacy as coupe no rear door so basically cant tint dark unless the rear windscreen ..
I am not fan of whole car dark because block visibility, but i will prefer something in middle which people could see there is someone in car, but could not see their face clearly.. like shadow.. i think that is around 50vlt.
dog999 is agent or what?
