Best "name brand" tint?

[bash1979]

Hey guys,I'm looking into getting the new Vibe tinted.....I've called around a few places and there seem to be a bunch of different brands out there. Any ideas as to what the best brand is? I've noticed a lot people around here seem to have Llumar....is there any particular reason? I got quoted $240 CDN for Llumar, and $175 CDN for Solar Guard, and both were from very reputable dealers. Both these guys are obviously saying their product is better than the other, but I have no idea what the difference is. Oh yeah, and both come with lifetime warranties, so it's hard to wrong either way. I don't mind spending the extra money if I know I'm getting a much better quality product....just don't want to spend extra for nothing. Anyway, thought I'd check and see what the experts think! Thanks!

3M is the best. Llumar is second rate. I put 3M on my silver Vibe GT.I paid $240 for the 3M.

I have some Llumar 35% on mine, and I'm quite impressed. Not sure what the previous tint shops used on two prior cars, but the film was nowhere near as good. Especially the last, it was faded after the first year.The Llumar is holding up quite nicely.

IMHOI use to buy only Johnson & Johnson Window Master out of Florida.I know I didn't care for Llumar products a few years ago but they could have changed.Llumar was more of a window tint for building's.

LOL! It will do 0-60 in about the same time as a skyscraper. But it sucked before the tint to some extent. LOL!
