Never heard of ceramic tint before!

I will get more info on the product. Most tints are a dark film but may not do much regarding UV or heat transfer. If the product works as good as the demo I will be very happy.

I just moved to dallas, been thinking about tint.

when did nevr dull change its packaging?! I miss the old blue tin, or is it a different product (regular vs premium)?

Tint is usually one of the first things I do with our heat. Texas is pretty much in the same boat as Kansas. Triple digits again this week So looking forward to my install appointment! I will be sure to give an update on the difference. For the price better be worth it lol. Basic was going to be 180 installed. This ceramic is 350.00 and the shop was giving me 25.00 off their regular price.

I saw Ace Hardware had the traditional looking Never Dull. I really don't know if there is a big difference though. The Never Dull plus the Flitz made a great combo.

lol thanks! I actually picked that up a few years ago when I had an Evo X. Matches the STi interior nicely. She is 4 and thinks she ready for a booster lol. Great safety and comfort while being pretty reasonable when you compare it with other brands.

I didn't plan to get a sub box and subs yet but I came across an amazing deal on this. It is a custom Fiberglass box. It holds two 8" subs. I was going to get two JL Subs to put in but the seller said he would leave the Polks installed for only 50.00 more. I will more than likely wait to buy the amp and install kit, but it will be nice to having this part out of the way. I really like the functionality of it aside from the looks.

Just finished up a Rinseless Wash before the car goes in for tint tomorrow. It's late and garage doesn't have the best lighting.

Can't wait to see the after shots. It's gonna look sick!

What level tint? And you opted for the ceramic? I'll be curious to hear updates!

I snapped a few pics that will be just below. I went with 28% all around except the front windshield visor is 5% down to the AS1 line.

I did go with the Ceramic tint. I can tell the vehicle didn't take long to cool down and seemed to definitely help with keeping some heat out!

Here it is all done! Two before pics for reference:

28% seems downright reasonable. Looks dark enough to help with heat, but not to feel like you're blind when driving at night. Looks good too!

Thanks! I am very happy with the overall look of it. You know the nice thing about the ceramic is that the percentage doesn't matter so much with heat rejection itself. They even have a clear sample set up and it's amazing. It was a good bit more than basic tint, but I plan to have the car a while so I can justify it lol.
