Where's that Tint ?

i read a post yesterday, i think from the photo gallery, that went on to discuss the tint. this guy said his tint was $500 and when inside the car the tint is hardly noticeable.

this stuff is a one way filter. it let's visible light in, blocks UV in, and blocks light from exiting.

he also left a website url too, but i cannot find it.

anyone know what that tint was?

thanks.

Hi there,

I think you saw my forum with the Huperoptic tint. Here is it is... Huperoptic

I have to say... I am really enjoying the tint. It is cooler in the AZ heat and does have difference appearance then your typical tint. The dealer gave me a lifetime guarantee. Even if it scratches by the rubber molding. The dealer said they are working with many tint manufactures in resolving the scratching issue. Sometimes they just replace the molding and it solves the scratching issue. They did not like the mole skin idea as the adhesive would eventually ware and the mole skin would fall off and mess up the window with exposed adhesive and dangeling mole skin. In addition, it adds more pressure on the window. They rather keep replacing the molding until one stops scratching the tint. I feel lucky that the dealer will keep working with me until I am satisified.

Oh and one more thing... no scratching so far. They say this tint is harder then most because of the metal in it. Hope it stands up better to these Acrua windows.

The link to my post with the pics and info is below.

Tuetatesu,
I take it you don't have Navi (since you have metallic tint)? If you do, does the metallic tint affect your GPS?

i think metallic issue is a farce, or at least limited to a few brands of metallic tint. many other posters in the forums saying their metallic tint is not interfering with XM or navi.
