I figured I would get more responses here. For those who have the F1 Pinnacle ceramic tint, does it look a little purple-ish from inside when the sun shines directly to the window? It looks different from my previous dyed tint and I was wondering if it's normal or not. Thanks a lot!

 

I have them Pinnacle tint on my TL and I would describe the color as installed on the glass as sort of blue/green as compared to my other car with 3M CS film which is more of a gray.

 

I have Formula 1 Ceramic tint and I haven't noticed any purple when looking from inside or outside.

 

I have the formula one tint as well. I do not notice any purplish color when the sun hits it.

 

now that's strange..... how about any blue-ish color? I mean, mine just doesn't look right when the sun hits it..

 

Are you wearing polarized sunglasses when you notice this? I notice a blueish/purplish color when I look at certain cars from an angle. But when I'm just looking out the window it's not an issue. Only when I look at other passing cars and the sun is at a certain angle. So I do notice it a bit but it's not a big deal.

 

the purple-ish/blue-ish shade that I see is when I am inside the car looking out (no sunglasses) especially when the sun hits the windows directly. It looks great from the outside.

 

This is the film I am looking at getting. Hopefully not but maybe the installer snowed you?

 

Are you sure you got what you paid for? The purple hue you describe is common with cheaper dyed non-metalic ting. I've had my F1 on the car for 5+ months and never seen any purple hue in the tint under any conditions.

 

Yeah. The shop is called Accutint and it's well known in the Seattle area. When I picked up the car the guy had just finished working on it and he showed me the tint in a roll with a box that says Formula one pinnacle. I will go back and ask to compare "their" formula one with "my" formula one...
