Two examples of good tint for your situation.

Don't get random crap most tint shops push. It's dyed and provides little heat rejection. Also avoid metal films.

More important, find a shop that computer cuts their film. No razor blades on your glass.
Was thinking of doing LLUMAR, heard good things in the past.

Do you have any experience with it?
Llumar and Suntek are both owned by Eastman. Llumar has a entry level ceramic film called CTX. I'm not a fan, but it's OK film. Just be sure you like the color of the film and look through it in sunlight before committing. It should price out similarly to the other films I mentioned and will provide similar performance. The 3M color stable is an excellent film to look through but it's heat rejection is a bit less than the Suntek I mentioned or llumar's upgraded ceramic called IRX.

Focus on the shops workmanship. That's as important as the film choice.
