I got a guy trying to sell me on the "new" carbon tint. Says its way better than ceramic and cheaper. Is the performance of the ceramic based tint worth the extra $$$? He said that the ceramic will be $300- extra!

I was hoping to get some independent opinions from others. If you are pleased with a particular brand please let me know.

Thanks!

Sounds like you should go somewhere else.

The local reputable shops that use true ceramic tints don't cost considerably more than non-ceramic tints. I got the Fit tinted with a high quality lifetime warranty Llumar film for around $250. It shouldn't cost much more than that. Maybe $100 more, but surely not $300 more!

 

I had full ceramic done for $225 installed.

FormulaONE - Performance Automotive Film

FormulaOne Pinnacle.

 

I got my ATC35 tint for $275. Since this is Llumar do you think we got a fair price or were ripped off?

 

Well, it's average for the area, definitely don't feel ripped off.
It was $225 including a windshield strip.

 

I went with 3M Color Stable film, which is carbon-based. It was $300 for all 9 windows (no windshield strip). Very pleased with it so far, but don't know how it would compare to ceramic.

 

I also had 5% Llumar with lifetime warranty on the back 5 windows. It was $178. What is Llumar considered?
