I'm doing air80 on the windshield and rear windows, 15% brow and front windows, and 50% on rear doors. That should make the rear doors a hair darker than the fronts, and the rear color match the rear of the tint.

Update: The front doors have Llumar Statos 15% and the back have 50% Pinnacle. The darkness matches nearly perfectly from the outside, however there is a distinct color difference between the two from the inside. Stratos has a green tinge like Ray Ban lenses. Pinnacle has a classic gray (blueish?) with, IMO, truer color rendition. I think I'm going to have the Stratos removed and replaced with Pinnacle 15% because of this. It's what I'm used to on my Focus, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say most people would probably prefer it over the Stratos. It's also cheaper, FWIW.

Got mine done today. Originally planned on 20% all around and 50% on the windshield but ended up going with 15% and 70% Was only able to get 70% on the windshield, he wouldn't go any darker. I think he said he did 70% on back window and rears to try to get everything at 15%. They all read within 1% of each other at 14-15%.

Follow up - Air 80 peeled up about 2” at the bottom center. Left a message with picture for my installer. I’m sure he will make it right

Back from the custom/accessories shop. Work they did was planned for 3 days. Got my truck back after 6 days, due to needing to re-do some front PPF that wasn't perfect the first time. Leaving the truck in the sun today, then garaged for a few more days to help better complete the curing process.
front windows - ceramic 40% LLumar IRX, windshield LLumar air 80 clear, remainder (passenger and rear) LLUMAR air 90 clear
Full wrap LLUMAR Valor clear PPF
Ceramic Pro ultimate package over PPF, wheels.
Happy so far with the work ac-mn.com did. Not 100% happy with their communication (lack thereof) to let me know why it took longer than expected. Mixed google reviews, but I'd definitely use them for other accessories I might add later.

You put a screen protector on your screen protector! You're a mad man! I like it!

Thanks for reminding me. I do have the screen protector to put on the display, too. Hopefully no bubbles.
I do like that the shop does all their PPF in a dedicated room with filtering and racks of IR lamps all around for curing. They said I need no additional curing, but still doing a bit per some interweb suggestions.
