I have always had Llumar tint on all my cars and have always loved it. I'm getting ready to tint the new car this week, but have been told about a few other companies out there.

All I care about is that it doesn't do any of the following:

1) Fade
2) Crack
3) Peel
4) Interfere with Nav
5) The installer MUST microedge all the windows as well. This is a must, as it's the only way I like my windows tinted.

I got LLumar too. Go w/ FormulaOne Pinnacle tint buddy.

Micro edging will be done by that ArtofTint guy in NY, supposedly does tint for high-end cars like Lambo, Ferrari and all. I think he used SolarGuard tint.

So it's either Llumar or Huber Optik. Good to know. Nobody picked Solar Gard or SunTek. I guess I'll go with Llumar, which is what I've always had. Thanks.
