Ceramic Window Tints

How much are people paying for ceramic tints in the US? Got quoted for 350 for Llumar's Pinnacle series, prices seemed to have gone up quite a bit since I had it done a couple of years ago.

Other shops in my local area also does 3M and Rayno(first time learning about this brand), pricing seems to be fairly similar to Llumar's but they arent ceramic.

I'm in the market as well I want to do 70% all around, I was quoted that it would start at $250 and go up from there…..

Honestly, that's not terrible for Llumar, considering inflation. I got quoted about the same for my Celica build, and the amount of glass is fairly similar (Celica might have a bit more; the rear hatch glass is a beast).

If you're in the Chicagoland area (ex Naperville resident here), you might want to check out Chicago Auto Pros. I didn't have them tint any of my cars, but the did do a stellar job with a detail. If they put a fraction of that work into their tint jobs, you'll walk away happy. Midwest Tint in St. Charles did my IS300 F Sport a few years back, and they also did quality work. They use Solar FX, but offer their ceramic line, as well.

I think it varies on your location, but I paid just under $500 for 20% all around and 70% on the front windshield. I don't remember the brand, but it was ceramic and some type of acronym. all the shops in my area wanted $600+ for Llumar/3M

It's crazy how much the pricing varies depending on where you are.

Life is punishment on Long Island. Everything fun is illegal and everything that isn't illegal is ridiculously overpriced.
