[quote name='xexyus' date='Mar 6 2005, 08:08 PM'][quote name='jeffnin' date='Mar 3 2005, 07:34 PM']I have Huper Optik Ceramic tint at 30% on my Jet Black 545i. This is the second BMW with Huper Optik, and I have been very pleased with it. Here in AZ, the new ceramic tint really cuts down on the heat but without having very dark windows. Do a search in your area for Huper Optik installers for info. I paid about $675 for mine last year.

675$ FOR TINT?

That's way too expensive.. I just got quoted $500 for the huper optik tint for my car.. I've seen people getting about $399 installed in this forum..

Hey guys this is actually my first post on this forum. I am an Authorized Huper Optik dealer in Southeast Florida and I cant see myself charging that much for a Huper Ceramic install. On average I would charge $350 for a Huper install on an E60. Llumar films your looking at $129.

Rollmodl...

What is the darkest Huper Optik film? So far I've only seen as dark as 30%, I think. That isn't dark enough for my taste as far as looks are concerned.

Do they make darker? I might consider switching for the heat rejection qualities, but not unless I get the privacy I want. I have 20% film all around, at the moment. I looked at your website. Looks like you guys have a nice operation there. I might make a trip to visit you for some new tint, if you have good news about the Huper.

Your right about the Huper. The darkest available is 30%. If your looking for privacy then Huper wont be for you. I'm actually making a trip to Orlando next Saturday because I have a tint meet and I have about 7 G35's to tint. If you interested in meeting up let me know.

Ya 30% is fairly light... no privacy... its only good for blocking out heat. I wanted to get Ceramic tints but because they are not dark enough for me I went with the regular metallic based tints.

Rollmodl.....


What would happen if you did 2 layers of 40% Huper Optik? That might make it dark enough for privacy....

You can do something like that. Go with two coats of 30%. I would charge $350 for the first coat and $300 for the second, for a total of $650.

My installer did that on the rear windows of his wife's car to give the baby more protection. Looked pretty good.
