Came across 3 types of tints.
Ceramic: no fade and won't mess with reception.
Metallic: Won't fade but will mess with gps/phones etc.
Dye: cheapest, may fade, won't mess with reception.
All tints should offer some form of UV protection...how much would be up to each brand.


Top 3 brands I did in my research were(whole car, no front wind shield):
1) 3M Crystalline, quote $600+
2) Llumar CTX(ceramic) ~$300
3) Suntek carbon, didn't bother for quotes as I was happy with Llumar quotes.

I went Llumar CTX30 and Air80 in the front windshield. Absolutely love the front tint. No more thigh/arm burns anymore on a hot day.
I'm looking to spend between $150-200. I talked to G5 tints he was talking about nano carbon and stuff. I was so clueless. I just don't want them to turn purple to be honest.
