Does anyone know the difference between llumar and diamond film brands? And if it were you choosing which one would you prefer and why? Im getting tint done this week and this is what they offer, so any help is greatly appreciated because its going on my baby.

 

The guy I went through has done this as his only business for years and he uses Llumar film exclusively. He does a ton of cars and pretty much has all of the local celebrity market as well. I'm sure the Bucks and Brewers wouldn't be coming back to him year after year if his work didn't stand up. I've got it on my black/black and love it.

 

I've never heard of diamond. The big brands I know of are: Formula One, Llumar (both are by CPF films), Madico, Huper Optic, Solargard, Johnson, and 3M. Since you have a NAV, XM, etc, I reccomend going with a non metallic film. For Llumar, their film you should use is the Llumastar AT (Not ATR). I ended up going with Madico Charcool myself since it too is a non-metallic film (it's a Color Stable film), since it had a higher heat rejection than the Llumar. It also has a lifetime warrenty (something the Solargard NR line doesn't have). If you want to blow money though, ceramic is the best, but you'll spend over $400 for ceramic (either Huper Optic or Formula One Pinnacle). I was able to get a lot of info about tinting throug the forums on www.tintdude.com. I just got my windows done this past weekend, so I was doing a LOT of research recently about tinting. Hope I helped a bit. PM me if you have more questions.
