Still haven't had a chance to take pictures yet - I work 3rd shift and I'm about to fall asleep - but I just got back from getting my windows tinted (35 all around, done at Mother's on I-35 & 290).
It looks very nice on the white Fit, and even more importantly, blocks a good chunk of the heat. I could definitely tell the difference on the drive home.
I got the 3M Color-Stable, mainly because it has a full lifetime warranty (from 3M, not Mother's) against discoloration, etc - the last thing I want is blistering, purple windows on my nice white Fit
. It cost a smidge under $200, before tax.
When I took the car in they said it'd take four hours - when they called me after only two I was afraid something had gone horribly wrong, but they just finished early
. The salesperson said mine was the first Fit he'd seen.
I wouldn't mind coming to a meet, but I work weird hours and days, so we'll see.

Finally took some pictures, in the parking lot across the street from my house (bonus points if you can figure out where that is 
).
Pictures are posted in this thread.
This one's my favorite - the angle of the light makes the window seem a lot darker than it actually is:
