Thinking of tinting, need help.

Im thinking of getting my windows tinted. Place near me with a good rep has it for 150 with a year 1 warranty and then they got 3M tint for like 250-300 for a life time warranty. Wanted to know if thats a good price around here in central nj. If so, is it worth going for the better stuff? Thanks guys.

I wouldn't do 3m tint, reason being it has the 3m logo in the tint every foot or so, its just annoying. maybe they have changed it recently, but thats how it was last i knew.

If you get good tint you won't need the life time warranty, unless it covers you accidently damaging it, then it would be nice to have.

very reasonable price if they have a good rep. I believe I paid $225 or so for 20% all around and an eyebrow.

Thanks for the input guys. So you think the more expensive stuff is not worth it. I meen id love to save 100 bucks, but having to get it redone after 2 years would kinda suck too.

then they must have made some changes. i'm sure their stuff is high quality, I have a friend who has it on his truck, its about 3 years old and still looks good, but it has little 3m logos in it, which I would hate.

I have llumar, so far so good. except where i sort of scratched it with my key. oops.
