Huper Optik Pricing

BuckeyeZ

Can any of you guys with Huper Optik window tint on your vehicles tell me about how much you paid to have it done? I called the local rep. (the only one in the state of TN, they tell me) and he wants $499. Seems a little steep to me for basically two doors and a hatch.

They will do a regular "dyed" film for $165. If I can get the Huper Optik somewhere else cheaper, I will. I can easily drive to GA, KY, or OH to find another dealer when visiting friends and family.

Any feedback is appreciated-

I talked to a local guy, he said that the price should perhaps be closer to 400$ but tha the doesnt do it himself just because if he ordered the material, he may never sell/use the rest of it.

but if you find more people interested, who can pay a deposit for him to get the material etc so he'd do it.

I got a quote from a local shop here in Anaheim, CA for Huper Optik for sides and back windows at $475. Huper Optik is the only ceramic tint that i would concider.

After some more research into ceramic tint and debating the huge cost difference, i decided to just go with a shop that uses LLumar's High Performance tint and did the job for $150.

For that price i can get 3 standard tint jobs if something where to ever happen to the tint. But the shop i went to gives you a lifetime warranty, so the $150 is all i should have to pay.

^i agree.

I paid $200 for my Formula 1 Pinnacle tint job. Huper Optik is not worth the price in my opinion. There are too many tints available for less that offer lifetime warranties.

Yeah. Huper Optik is around the mid $400's range. I got all of my windows done in Huper Optik 30.

Here's the skinny on window tint films. First, check your local laws to determine the legal darkness limits for window films to prevent fines and having to remove and repalce it. Second, metallic films will interfere with radio signals for phones, GPS, satellite radio, etc. Third, most any warranty is for a pro-rated cost of the film and does not cover labor. If you buy a decent product/brand you should not need to be overly concerned with the warranty.

American Standard Window Film (ASWF) (Erickson International) in Las Vegas manufactures window films, including ceramic window tint films, for many of the window film companies.

3M makes very good window film products and is available from most any reputable window tint shop.

Eastman bought Solutia, which owns Vista, Huper Optik, Llumar, Formula1, Gila, EnerLogic, Sun-X, V-KOOL, and other brands. While Solutia companies offer good window tint films they are marketed at different price points. Of these, Huper Optik is way overpriced and Llumar offers good value for your money.

Other products are available from Madico, Johnson, SolarGard, Solar Control, and SunTek.

What Is The Best Value?From talking to many window tinting companies, that offer several competing product lines, the universal agreement seems to be that Sun-Gard (by Madico), Llumar and 3M offer the best value for your money. Paying a premium price does not mean that you necessarily get a better, or better performing, window tint film. Hope this helps!

I just had my windshield sun strip done and inquired about redoing the whole car in Huper Optik and was quoted $375 for the tint and $65 to remove the existing tint. That includes the 2 quarter windows too. I may opt to leave them and save a little. I'm going to do it.

I dont live in your area but I paid $400 for the Huper Optik 30. Another place in town quoted me $385 but I went with the other shop because it got better reviews.
