dude dont be hatin on the gila you know that sheets the bomb :hump j/k ....thanks for the reply . I use llumar and I am very happy with it...I just tried a sample of the std pro and it feels like a good film...I just dont trust the color because they dont warranty it for fading or color change...I was just curious if it turned funky purple or just lightened up....I would never use reg. standard even if they gave it to me....I do like the infinity though...very nice looking film!

and your trusting LuLu on color change and color fade,., mmmm let me go look up the several threads that this subject has been in,, seems to me like someone said LuLu has never had a color change/fade film untill recently (excluding the PP) ,,, anyway, I'm glad you like LuLu ,, someone's gotta use it. :hmmm , everytime I post a purple LuLu film failure<<< and I've posted alot of those already.... someone speaks up and says LuLu don't do that (purple,fade,shifting,bubbling) ,, doesn't matter what someone argues the facts.,. I just won't stand quietly when someone says otherwise..

if I had to guess on what the Suntek is going to do,, it would have to be similar charastics of LuLu because of there trading of materials,, I do like the film though, it shrinks as easy as butter and it looks great on the car....

I have Not had any issues with the Carbon series yet and I just started using the Xp series seems a little better made.... the OP is my second favorite Metalized film right now!......

it was Dec 08 when I recieved my first sample of Std Pro<<<< sorry for the date being way off,., time just slips away from ya every now and then., it's the Carbon I've had for the longest on a car from Suntek

I know it seems I'm bustin' ya, biut...

Standard Pro for 3 years on bros'car? Were you their test man ? I'm trying to give you an out cause it ain't been available nearly that long.

You guys running the Carbon XP - run the Prestigous number letter test on it. (you know, scotch tape to sr suface and give it a yank). What happens? :beer

Infiniti - fine metallized film. :spit

No worries :hmmm ,, I actually thought about it after and had to dig up the paper work on it,,, I used it Dec 08 and started buying it in Jan 09..

I have no problem admitting my wrong .,. sorry about that! .. anyone can feel free to call me out on something I say if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.... I just got mixed up on the films,., I did have a friend that was using it for a few months before I decided to try it(stdpro) ,, it seemd to being working fine for him at the time,., I like it as well..

You know, I have read all those threads and find one common denominator running through them. They seem to be caught up in past LLumar products as if it were today or yesterday. By comparison, it would be like talking down present day SunGard film because of the old Sungarb dye running out of the adhesive way back when.

Fast forward to today's color stable technology and all that can be said in truth about LLumar turns purple is if you are buying and installing their economy lines, Jet or Basic Black (White box). And not to mention, every dyed film out there turned purple before pigmented polyester and color stable dyes.

Today, from what I see in LLumar's wording, they warrant color (except with Jet & Basic Black) but they do not warrant fading (except in Platinum Plus). Also, no manny should be to blame if I chose to warranty a customers (purple) film because I may have presumed in error that it was covered. :spit

Edit back to topic: I do not like the way Std Pro shrinks.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
