i take it your doing this yourself?

even if your not here is a good source of information....

http://www.tintdude.com/

as far as color you'll be able to tell by looking at it if it's a better grade or not. usually the greyish looking tints are much better then the solid black/purple hue tints.

stay away from green....

again all are black but if you look at them just right you can see the different colors in them. then again if you pay $30 in materials to tint your car chances are you got them for free or it will turn purple on you.

Have someone else do them... 3M all the way. You can't beat the lifetime warranty.

And don't clean the tint with Windex or similar blue stuff. Only use window cleaners that say "Safe for tint" on the bottle (contains no ammonia or alcohols). If you insist on doing it yourself, start here: http://www.tintdude.com/
