You can see if the colour changed when you put down on of the side windows a little. The foil on the part which is normally covered by the door frame ( if you have one ) will have still the original colour because the sun does not affect it. The window itself is always affected by the sun, so you see the difference right away.

For me ,

I dont like the Dark one because it makes me feel traped

I've traied the Normal one and the 3M ..... I think they are the same

They talk alot about isolation but the onlt difference I noticed is that the 3M film can not be scrached esely and the colour does not change quickly (on the Jeep since Jan'2006 & on the BMW since Aug'2006)

Yes they have an instrument that measures the tint ... You should only put 30% on the sides ..

I had Harakat on the Lumina for 3 years which was perfect, no color change and real heat isolation, 3m on the Wrangler and I don't like it because of the vision at night is not so good, Titanum on the Durango which does not isolate heat as good as Harakat and I have the Irani shop "what they call american" which I think is good but get scratched easily ... So I think you should get Harakat and only 30%
