Huper Optik ceramic tint FTW. Don't settle for less. Worth the $$ and beats metallic tint hands down.
STM (Song's Tint Masters) is the Huper Optik authorized installer in that part of LA. Great place.

Make sure you get the film on the inside window rubber trim, or it will scratch the film with time
They are a little more then other shops but great job
$150+$40 for the window trim film

Not impressed, also when they cut the film they get a peace of your outside window rubber

Don't know if I was bad luck, but both of my cars?
Beside they use a cheap film
When I took it back to them they did replaced it
but afterwards still have the scratch
They claim you need to clean from inside with thin towel between the window and trim

We will see how the H.O. cures and lasts, but it looks good so far and the heat rejection is brilliant. It is pricey, of course, 2x as much as what it would cost for solargard/suntek type of stuff.
Was yours the Palladium C63 they showed me photos of?

Had a few cars done with HuperOptik tint down at Perfect Window Tint in Santa Ana. My personal A3 and C63, and gf's 335 and a friend's e46 M3. They also do commercial tinting for a lot of the corporate buildings down in OC.
Sal (owner) will treat you well, whether or not you tell him I (Max) referred you. Good luck!

Can you guys that did Huper Optik tell us how much you paid? Ive been looking to either do Huper or F1 Pinnacle Ceramic. Id rather go with F1, but the prices seem to be more than Huper nowadays.
oh just an fyi, STM is doing a group buy on the Huper Optik for $400 all around except windshield on the Mfest board.

ADVANCE AUTO ENGINEERING, in Alhambra, i got my clear bra done over there, and it came out FANTASTIC, they also do tints as well. The owner is a really nice guy and has alot of experience with exotic cars (Carrera GT, LP640, 599GTB, etc) so his work speaks for itself.

Go see Frank at the Tint Factory - next to Al and Ed's on La Cienega just north of the 10 freeway on the west side of the street. Tell him Luke sent you...He does amazing work.

Love it, love the glossyness even though its not what i was going for but heyyy, what a surprise! Stands out from others.
Pic in my sig
I went to Startronics in Santa Monica forgot the owners name but hes hella cool, most of the cars i saw in there were exotics and my car was in fear. He has pretty good reviews on the internet.
