and that is what Llumar CTX is....a direct apples to apples comparison.

So the quote does appear to be in good faith, and not a rip off.

^^ Exactly. $369 for ceramic is good, make sure they have a lifetime warranty.

I just got mine done in Hüper Optik ceramic last week and it was $450 in NYC. Some quotes were up to $700.

hey rhy... who did your tint job in NYC? did you also get quoted by "the art of tint"? I am just curious, because I might get Hüper Optik ceramics in the near future.

$900 for ceramic formula tint for all the windows(no windshield) at 30% and full clear bra for the front of the car. $220 to get an additional 30% added on top of the tint because the 30% ceramic tint wasn't dark enough. They also tinted the windshield 50% when they added the 2nd layer of tint.

ask if they offer lifetime warranty against fading, bubbles, scratches, etc.. price does seem really high but every place is different so im sure you can negotiate the price down. but if you cant get a low enough price and they dont offer a lifetime warranty, onto the next one.

I paid 200.00 for all windows in Limo, plus had the windshield done with very light tint. I have a friend that is mobile. Been doing it for 20yrs. I send him alot of work. If you are in Tampa Bay area, let me know.

I hope people realize that ceramic tint is almost double the price of a good regular tint and 3-4 times the price of low-end tint. $369 for ceramic is a very good price.
