    Just got a quote for clear ceramic on every piece of glass in the tundra for $800ish installed. I’d love to have the front windows match the rear factory tint but NewYorkistan gonna NewYorkistan.
    I know the material is twice or more of conventional tint. Is this a decent price to get everything squared up?

    I paid 500 for every piece of glass on my truck but you being on the opposite side of the country. Prices are probably higher.

    I’m not sure. Not carried in stock he said he has to order it because of cost so I’m thinking it’s decent. I’ll ask when I talk to him again

    New York so everything is silly expensive.
    Where I am you’re looking about $600 for all 6. If you are doing ceramic to cut down on heat you need to do all of them including the sunroof to get the maximum benefit.

    Best thing to do is check the:
    Huper Optik
    3M
    Llumar/Formula One

    Websites for the installers of those films in your area.
    Get a price from each and go with the least expensive with a lifetime warranty.

    I have listed them in the order of quality but you can’t go wrong with any of them as long as you are using their authorized installer.

    Just did a quick Google search and the huper optik site directs you to the autobahn site. Looks like I got the good stuff.

    They must have acquired Autobahn in the past few years. Like Llumar did with Formula One.

    That’s interesting, may be a regional installer thing as the site shows me using my location that Autobahn is one of their subsidiaries but does not redirect me and gives me Huper Optik installers
    So that speaks volumes as Huper Optik is arguably the best window film maker on the planet.

    Heck of a deal for ceramic but down there I am sure there is lots more demand.
    What brand film?

    Just had my Tundra done today with Llumar Pinnacle 15% all side and rear for $395. Also added a 5% pinnacle brow for $65.
    I asked about full windshield and it was $245 for Llumar Pinnacle Air80 but in Pennsylvania we have a inspection and then a emission sticker on windshield. Too much hassle when comes inspection time every year.

    Pinnacle is like their mid grade better option ceramic film. So there's a step down cheaper option.
