I think it's kind of brownish. The store compares 3M with FormulaOne over a white material. I end up choose Formula One as I think it's better looking over the white seat.

It's definitely bluish. See attached pic. That's 20% on a white interior. Perfect IMO. Not too dark.
It definitely looks brownish from the inside. Similar to how some polarized sunglasses look.

I just got suntek carbons. 20% all around on my M3. Works for me. $300 all around for my M3
If you think about the price difference and heat reduction %. Doesn’t make much sense to upgrade for $200+ more unless you live in a really hot state

I'm looking at doing just the 4 windows .. the quotes I received are:
1) Suntek CIR : $280
2) Apollo Ceramic: $350
3) Llumar CTX : $300
4) Xpel XR Plus: $560
I'm debating between Suntek and Llumar .. specs are comparable, but Llumar has lifetime warranty and that's what the shop says ... what do you recommend? Thank you.

FWIW, the Suntek CIR has a blue/green color cast to it (20% on sides and full back, 35% on roof, 70% on windshield). I would have preferred a pure black look. But the car still looks good with the tint and I have no regrets.
Tried to get a picture, but couldn't get it to show.

I'm not sure the CIR and CTX are comparable. Spec wise, CIR is more similar to Llumar F1 Pinnacle series which I found was a lot more expensive.
I ended up going for CIR, side windows only (50 front, 30 back).
As Kevy mentioned, it does have a bluish hue to it (from inside, mostly black from outside). But if you're not already aware, a bigger issue for me was the haze you get with ceramic films. This is worst for the 50% front windows. Takes some getting used to. Google "ceramic tint haze" to see what I mean.
I don't see that blue/green cast in person, perhaps the cellphone cameras are picking that up ...
They put 30% on the front and 20% on the back ... back is pretty black from outside but not limo black (5%). Kids are happy with no straight sun heat ...
May I ask how you feel it looks against the white interior? I'm looking for a tint light enough that the white interior is still visible from the outside (I like the look). I'm more after heat/UV rejection than privacy. Also, where in Dallas did you go? I'm also in DFW.
Where did you end up getting it done? I’m located in Seattle and looking for a shop
I like the look of white seats too but Dallas summer is killing .. the front seats are still quite visible but the rear 20% tint makes it hard to see the seats.
Got it done at Tint World in The Colony. 121 & FM 423.

Not just the tint and windows, but both of your pictures have lot of blue tint in them.
