Ceramic Tint
 

Is ceramic tint worth the extra 100-150 price tag? I was looking at Formula One pinnacle series and wanted some input before dropping the cash.


SideNote: Im sure we have threads on this topic but my computer isnt connecting to the internet (wireless card is probably out) and my tablet wont let me click the search function :shakes head:

Ceramic Non Metallic is the way to go to get the best uv protection from a tint without Nav interference.

I've personally used in the past Huper Optik tint, And was very happy with the look, And performance of the tint.

Albeit pricey? YES but you get what you're paying for IMO

Im a firm believer in paying the higher dollar for better quality. I just also know that a lot of things out there are buzzwords and gimmics just to charge more.

Thanks for the input Trip! Do you have it on your Z?

Also i was quoted 360 (thats including the removal of my current tint)

What does that mean???


And Huper Optik is the shít.
But honestly, I have regular in the Z, and it works fine

No, I used to have it on my old bimmer.

I had done a lot of research and in Huper Optik's case? They were at that time the BEST tint available back in 05

I had the tint for 4 years and had no problems and would use that brand again if I were to need tint.

I've heard of Formula One and thats another good brand, But I've got no personal experience with them.

Ive heard crappy metallic tint will interfere with radio (am, fm, satellite) and navigation

Ive actually only heard of Formula One, so ill look into Huper Optiks as well :tup:

Thats why YOU need to make sure it's Non Metallic

Ohhhhhhhhh... I have never heard of that difference, and I have the Nav/Bose and crap, and I have no issues...


What I HAVE heard is that the ceramic will make your clicker distance better

I can't speak in spec but can only advise on what I know from experience, And that is

IF You have a Nav? You are advised NOT to use the metallic version

For the most part I feel Nowadays ceramic non metallic should should be the standard

Lol nice, but i dont think ive ever used my key before :happydance:. Seriously ive pressed the only the alarm button once to scare some guy that walked up my driveway and was walking around it lol

I have Huper Optik 60 on the windshield and 30 on every other window. Had it since I got the car in 2009 and have absolutely no problems whatsoever. Let me know if you guys ever want to come and check it out. :tup:

If you tap on "advanced search" you can use the search function with your tablet. :tiphat:

I might want to do that

What part of the OC are you in?

Would you be able to post up pics of the windshield from the inside and outside POV? I've been thinking about doing that on my windshield.
