Fellow G'ers,

Called a local tint shop (Too Intense Windows in MD) that installs Huper Optik films. Got a ceramic 30 (34%) tint quote for $425 for a G coupe. Wondering if this is a rip off or a decent price. I was interested in ceramic tint because of it's superior heat blocking properties as I have a graphite interior. So anyone with ceramic tint or is familiar with Huper Optik film pricing that can confirm this?

Below is the specs on the ceramic tint films from Huper:

I have the same film. Great stuff - blocks the heat like nothing else. One thing though - it takes forever to dry (maybe a month or so). Recommended. BTY- that price is fair.

I got a quote for $300 in Mass.

 

Thanks for the replies. Seems like these guys are the only authorized Huper Optik installers in the area. $425 sounds so steep, but I'm guessing I'll get what I pay for. I wonder if I can bargain with them cuz they said that there is a 2-3 week lead time on appointments.

I also asked them about how they would deal with the dot matrix on our rear windows and he said there was no problem with them. The film will go over them fine, but I'm doubtful that would be the case after reading about this at: http://www.tintdude.com/dot-matrix.html

I wish there was a shop that could do it for $300. Can't drive up to Mass for this... although I drove up all the way to NY to pick up my G. LOL!!

I'm imminent on making a decision soon cuz I just went out to lunch today and my car was under the sun for like 30 min and it was baking inside when I got back in the car... ARGH!
