Got a quote today for Formula One Pinnacle tint (ceramic) installed
all around except windshield. The question is, they said it is 30% which
I don't even see on the Formula One website and the price only $225 which is much lower than anywhere else around here. Don't ya think that
sounds suspicious?

 

There is a Pinnacle 30. Check the product spec sheet on their homepage (http://www.formulaone.com/pdf/FormulaOneSpecSheet.pdf). That's a real low quote. I had the 35 installed all around, including the top of the windshield for $375. Granted, i went with a recommended, and not particularly bargain priced, installer. He did a great job and I like the tint.

You might want to confirm the installer will be providing you with the full manufacturer warranty stuff (job receipt and formula one warranty info, including documentation of the tint serial number(s) used for the install). I'd hunt around for references or reviews of their work. If they check out, that's a sweet price.

 

I had FormulaOne tint installed in my Accord many, many years ago. I picked an installer in the next town over instead of my own because they were a bit cheaper. The installer ended up staining my roof liner with solution around the back window. Also, there were bubbles in the tint that did not go away. I had to sue the installer in small claims court to get my roof liner fixed, I won.

As for ForumlaOne, the company was great, they had me go to another installer and they redid the tint that was messed up for free. What I thought would be a money saver, cost me a lot in time and gas..haha.. lessoned learned...maybe.
