    I’ve tinted a couple of cars at Mr Tint here in Santa Clara. I know it’s a fair bit away from you. The ceramic tint was by far, the best thing. Definitely still gets warm inside the car but doesn’t feel like the sun is beating down on you.

    Precise auto tint in San Rafael. Lu is awesome. Not the cheapest place but they are true experts and absolute professionals.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Ceramic is definitely worth it. I have it on my front 2 windows and you can tell the difference front seat to back seat. I was thinking of putting it on my DD, but the wife vetoed that. Too much money for a 1K car.

    For my front windows only (4Runner), was almost three hundred bucks. My Civic hatchback was around $600-all four plus the hatch. They also laser cut per vehicle.

    I think I paid 250, but it isn't cheap for sure. I have tint to remove on the back too, which will make it even more pricey.

    You can use a heat gun and some kinda moisture to get that off. I heard the shop telling a customer they charge by the hour to get the old stuff off. And they estimated several hours.

    I had Llumar CTX 55 (https://northamerica.llumar.com/aut...tive-film/ceramic-window-tint/ctx-window-tint) installed on 5 windows on my xtracab for ~$440 at Grizzly Style in South SF. CS could've been better but the tint looks great and they are one of the few Llumar installers around SF. I have non-ceramic tint on my other car and even though it's darker, you can feel it lets in more heat. Ceramic is definitely worth the upgrade in CA.
