question about Johnson Window Film

has anyone heard about the Johnson Window Films?? I want to get my window tinted and one place has this tint only. They are asking for $120. Is this a good quality tint? I heard most places has three different type of tint like dye, titanium, and quantum tint or something. Which one would this qualify?

What is the name of the place? I have been quoted a range of prices and given recommendations by knowledgable people on this forum. Some say moleskin is needed which adds $100, a place in LA that does dealerships and lots of show cars does not use moleskin. I would like to check out your place since it might be near me also........

The place is off Nogalas on 60 fwy. Coming from 57 get onto 60 west and exit Nogalas make a right. And turn right at the first light and it's on the right hand side after the storage place.

After checking on the net:
It seems like a quality product. But installation is another story. Good website and a respected company with all the answers to your questions. Let me know

I wasn't paying attention to the name of the place because I was only next door to see if I can find a flat hood badge, but the place next to them is called StarTech

did you get the badge? $30 with shipping from quality places seems to be the price.
How is life without the resonator? Did you get stainless steal or regular pipe?

My mistake on the gender. The picture caused the error.
On his webpage it tells about the tint and it is 45%

is the silhouette sp45 tint a little green? or is that because of the regular C-class glass are green tinted. It looks great btw and did you get those mole skins installed? or is the tint tough enough to go w/o mole skin protection?
