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

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.
