Edge Posted June 8, 2016 Report Posted June 8, 2016 Ceramic tint + $40is this worth it? Does anyone notice any interference with their technology gadgets and regular film? Is there any additional benefit of the Ceramic? Apologies if this was answered elsewhere, I did try a search, but couldn't find anything on our forum... of course the websites where they're trying to sell you the stuff claim that it's necessary. Thoughts? Ceramic will last longer (less fading or peeling) and also blocks more heat (40-50% more!) at the same percentage. No issue with technology blocking, as it is non-metallic.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Posted June 8, 2016 Looks like we're rolling into a second day. Working out the details now but Jaimie (REV JD) is offering to host. Since her roommate and herself each want tint they are meeting the two car minimum. I will set up a separate event once all of the details are confirmed. So if you can't get in on Sat, then we have space on Sun Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Donross Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I'm trying to understand the pricing on get the R53 done. Is it: 2 door cars $130 (1 hourish) + Ceramic tint $40= $170? What is the $25 with the car/ $50 on its own charge? If i'm there to move the car, is it less? Sorry if i'm reading to much into this, just trying to determine how much to bring. Thanks [ross]

Thanks [ross] I believe that's the cost of the windshield stripes... $25 if you're getting the rest of the car tinted, $50 on its own. If I had to guess, he can use extra film not used in the tinting of the windows to do the windshield stripe... hence the discount. Otherwise he's cutting a windshield-wide stripe out of his tint roll.

If you only do the windshield strip it's $50 Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Posted July 3, 2016 Yesterday was a lot of fun and it was great seeing everyone. We did discover that Waze gets you to our house for but Google maps will send you the wrong way down or street. I've logged a correction with Google. Hopefully it's fixed by the picnic but if not I'll post a map to show the proper direction. Of course if you use Waze you'll be just fine Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
