3m is good, LLumar is as well. Most anything you get in a tint place is going to be good quailty. The stuff should not turn color & will have a liftime warranty so "if" is does the shop will retint for free.
I just had my front windows on my Suburban done Saturday & they used 3M.

Madico and Huper Optic are good brands as well.

I typically regard 3M as the best. But there are others as many have said. Llumar is good, Ive had them before.

I believe Huber optic is ceramic tint...I could be wrong. So it'll be more $$$.

Will light tints still block out most of the heat? I'm planning on getting light tints because I really don't want to get hassled by cops.

TINT....TINT....TINT


Why the fuck can't you people get it through your skulls that the plural of tint is tint.

Thank you for saving me the trouble


To the OP I have LLumar on my car and so far its been great after 4.5 years. The only thing is I think it might be getting lighter, or im just so used to it that it seems that way.

I have Johnson tint and have no problems. I've had their Executive line on my car for almost a year now. People I've asked said they're pretty good too. But yeah, I've heard 3M is one of the best. Why? Name brand maybe?

I got my car done at California Tint in Rosemead.... so if you're looking for a place Eric... check them out.
