If you get metallic tint... which I believe Solargard is Metallic... it doesn't fade. But I think a full car of that costs like 270? However, Metallic tint disrupts AM signals...and not so much on FM, GPS, or Smart Key.

30 dollars more and you step up to Nanocarbon like 3M Colorstable and Suntek CXP. They reject more heat than dye film, have a nicer color, however METALLIC tint rejects more heat than them.

Since you're in the 150-200...Maybe you wanna do Johnson Marathon tint, they have a 10 year color fade warranty and a life time on bubbling. It's a dye+metallic, it rejects heat, looks good, but it will turn purple after 10 years.

I don't know if this car will be in your future in 10 years.. but I've used Marathon and I liked it. I went with 3M Crystalline because I could afford it LOL.
