Default What brand window tint are you using?

My roll cage is done from getting coated white and before I install it, I would like to get my windows tinted. Just wondering what tint you guys are going for. I'm thinking of 3M's Crystalline CR90 for the car, including the windshield.

Opinions and alternatives?

I have 3M Crystalline in my 993. It's expensive compared to conventional tint - about $450 installed if I recall. That said, it works very well and I have zero complaints. It even kept me (relatively) cool over the past weekend in Atlanta, commendable given the extreme temps (107 on Saturday) and the 993's feeble AC.

V Kool. By far the best window tint in terms of UV rejection and heat protection. Expensive but worth it.

No, the So CA location is in Orange. If you don't mind the drive from Arcadia, top recommendation. Call them up for the tint grades that they have.

No affilliation. Just a completely satisfied customer.

I have Premier Nano on my car. It gives significant heat reduction. Its also has a good shade (blue/grey rather than brown). They installed custom cut clear bra as well. I had everything intalled at their Orange County shop. They are bunch of great guys. Their installation and product are better than other shops and brands I have tried.

Thank you for all the support. Here at Premier, we prefer to provide real world results. Below are the tests we have conducted and the difference is tremendous. The newest product we have beta-tested for 2 yrs and have just launched to offer for our clients in our Norcal facility only (not yet available for Socal facility) and the feedback's been great....especially when it's documented by our own tests

PhotoSync is made by Prestige Film Technologies. The film's heat rejecting properties actually alters when it gets hotter....no other product on the market like it. In addition, it will reject infrared rejection by up to 98.5% after it's coating adjusts to solar heat!

Exceptional heat rejection without needing to go dark at all with Spectra PhotoSync from Prestige Film Technologies. We put this one to test against a 5% metallic window tint. Will also not affect wireless signals.

It's too late. I just had the Llumar Air 80 installed and it's great. Had I spent some more time researching I probably would have gone with the Photo Sync however, I think they are all close in performance.

That being said, can you pm me a price for a complete Photo sync tint, windshield included, with the least amount of darkness. I also need a quote on a paint protection. I'm getting my front bumper refinished and would like to cover the entire front end in a month or so.

I want a quote on the window tint for a friend. 997
