I recommend a dyed film if you're on a budget and you're looking just to add privacy. If you're looking to keep the car cooler and block the infrared rays, I recommend going with a metalized or a ceramic film. Both metalized films and ceramic films will have the Metalized films tend to be slightly cheaper than a ceramic film, but have also been known to have cellular, GPS and radio interference. All films will have different VLT percentages, w The lower the percentage, the darker the window tint. This vehicle is getting our highest grade ceramic window tint called L We start by entering the ve T By using a plotter instead of hand cutting, we reduce the risk of cutting or causing damage to the glass.
