Tints (Johnson vs F1 Pinnacle vs Huper Optik)

M3 6MT · 01-12-2011, 01:00 PM

I am looking to get tint for my car and have gotten these prices with brands:

Johnson $150
F1 Pinnacle $350
Huper Optik $450

Do you guys have any experience with any of these brands? Is it really worth paying $450 for Huper Optik?

Any inputs is appreciated

I have 3m done by a premier shop. It looks great. Price: $236 for a coupe.

FYI: Tint not tints.

Just to save you from the wolves.

I have used Formula One ceramic on two BMW cars, and the film is fantastic.

I don't have CA, so I'm good. Also, I have 50% so it's very light but still has a nice tint to it.

I have Huper on my car. I also had it on my E46. The color on my e46 was completely different both were 35%. I hate the look of my current tint. While the film performs extremely well (like my old film) it has a much more mirrored look to it. I'm not sure if you can get the other version i had. I'm also not sure it's worth the premium over other quality ceramic tint. Picture to show what i'm talking about:

450 for tinting are you kidding? Unless of course it comes with being able to take liberties with the installers wife or daughter or possibly both... I live in the land of BIG sun so my recommendation is to go 3M with a great installer from a company that will be around for the long term so your lifetime warranty is good. Never had a problem with their materials on 12 or so vehicles and trust me the only thing worse than the sun here in summer is.......HELL itself!

Your car looks nice and the tint actually looks pretty good

love it

joelk · 01-13-2011, 01:01 PM

Love huper. I'm going with them again on my m3.

Huper is too reflective for my taste. I have Suntec Carbon XP and it's almost cloudy when the sun hits it right. If I had to do it over I'd go with F1 or Wincos.
