Default Which window tint to get??

I am currently looking at window tint to put on my truck. I found a great place with awesome reviews but they offer 3 different types of tint. They offer carbon for $200, Carbon Nano Hybrid for $300, and Ceramic for $395. They all include any shade of tint for all of my windows of my screw.

I know you usually get what you pay for, but is it worth getting the ceramic tint for $395?

Agreed with the my dad's expedition cost $145 also done professionally at a shop. $300+ seems a little much, then again, rates could be different

Are you tinting all windows besides windshield? I just got my D/P windows done for $50. 35% 3M ceramic

One of the best around is 3M's Colorshade. The fade rating is almost none over years of use and the UV protection is great at 99.9%. I bought precut for front doors for $64 and installed myself.

All those prices seem a little high to me. I had my sides/rear and entire windshield done professionally for $220 using Solar Gard, and it was computer cut.

Personally, I wouldn't opt for the ceramic. In all honesty, you probably won't notice a difference except for the shade of the tint.
