So ten years ago I had all my windows tinted on my sedan with Huper Optik Ceramic 50% and Solargard 76% on the windshield. I really like the Huper Optik 50% because it has a slight silver/mirror look to it and makes the glass look thicker (hard to explain). It looks nothing like the cheap black out tint. Also depending on the angle you're looking at the car and month of the year it looks like there's nothing on the windows or it looks much darker than 50% (looks like 15%).

I'm about to buy a new sedan and was calling around tint shops but it seems no one carries Huper Optik anymore. And the one shop I found only does building windows with it. Huper Optik is thick film so it's hard to apply it to car windows but I'm really happy with the way my turned out even though it's 10 years old now.

So now Huper Optik has a new automotive line called Autobahn i3 which is also fully ceramic. I think it just came out couple years ago and it's almost impossible to find any photos of it on cars on the internet.

Does anyone have Autobahn i3 installed on their cars? Can you post some photos?

For those of you who have had Huper Optik ceramic what are your thoughts on the Autobahn i3 line? I think they made the new line because they wanted it to be darker than the original line. i3 comes in 5,15,22,33,40 and 56 where as HO original came in 30,40,50, and I think 60 as well.

I'm just undecided on the i3 line because if I get it my car's going to looks just like every other car with tint.

Here is another member of this board who got 50% Huper Optik on his car, looks just like mine, it looks so clear and clean. You can see how from certain angles it looks very light or very dark and gives off a mirror look when looking from the side.

I've had Huper Optik tint, its really not in use anymore, it was difficult to work with and a lot of the newer tints are better and easier to work with. No experience with Autobahn i3. I have used Formula One tint on my last few cars and have been very happy with it.

What percentage and do you have any photos?

I googled Autobahn i3 and I found pictures and videos, it looks like a deep charcoal colored tint like most tint. I believe 3M Crystaline does have a little metallic look.

My last two cars have been 40%, my current car the windows are reflective already from the factory, so the tint is reflective but on my LS it was just a nice black charcoal look.
