No night vision change for 70%. Will barely even notice during the day but your leather dash will thank you and so will the temps in the car.
So I ended up doing 40% on doors and rear, 20% (the darkest 3M makes Crystalline) on the sunroof, and 70% on the windshield. Don't regret a thing! Here are some initial pics for those interested.
Why crystalline?
The heat rejection and lifetime warranty.

The heat rejection and lifetime warranty.
But the warranty is on all their tints. And the nano-ceramic heat rejection is far superior.

I believe Crystalline is nano-ceramic.
