Those guys that have got Ceramic and didn't notice a bit of difference might have got scammed.
There is a huge difference. Is it worth what you pay to get it??? Well that's up to the individual.

I had 20% ceramic put on my front doors and roof and 70% on all other windows including the windshield. I paid 400 for all of it and was quoted up to 700 for the same work. I would call around and ask about the manufacture of tint they are using and how much ceramic they have installed.

I love the ceramic and the only thing I would probably do differently is do 5% on the roof next time. I think if I would have done that I would leave the screen cover open and never touch that button again.

Just my 2 cents..........

On the sunroof, do you notice a huge difference on the amount of light coming in? Is it a ton less, or just a big difference in the amount of heat coming through?

Both,

Before I had the tint installed you really didn't want to drive around during the day with the shade open. Sun was beating down on you and was uncomfortable. After putting the tint on I drove it all the way home with the shade open. You could still feel some sun on you but no where close to what it was.

With regards to the sunlight the 20% made a difference but I wouldn't call it drastic. I think limo or 5% would allow enough sunlight in for me. But that's probably an individual decision.

One other thing I have noticed with the 70% windshield tint is the need for sunglasses. Often times I will take them off. Kinda a nice added feature I wasn't thinking about or planned for.
