100% metallic, high reflection
lifetime warranty from any bubbles,fadings
vs

formula one ultimate ($280)
100% metallic, low reflection

steep prices, but you get what you pay for.

what you guys think I should get?

I've gone through two cars with Llumar, I think it's pretty high quality... I got 20% Graphite though. Lifetime warranty. I'd recommend llumar to anyone. I don't know anything about metallic... I think they're illegal around here anyway.

metallic...meaning there will be no fading of color, no bubbles,, no cracking, no crazing...


at least that's what the manafacture's warranty says

300 for tint is pretty steep
i'd go wit the 200
i want a mirror tint but not payin that much
150 tops and if i cant find that then i'll just get the regular black for a 100[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

problem with the regular black (which has dyes, and will probably turn purple),

is that they bubble in a few years, and there is no warranty

I figured if I payed $150 now for "regulars", then another $150 in 2 years for "regulars" again

I should have gotten the top of the line for $300 now and that guarentees
that they'll fix it for free.

so I figured almost top of the line $200, plus lifetime warranty
is a great deal. and if anything goes wrong, they'll fix it no questions
ask

Go with the llumar. It's a good price with the guarentee, and it looks HOT. That's what I'm getting.
