You really think the ATR looked better?  Now you got me thinking

Great thanks for the advice.  I am going to go to a certified llumar dealer one of their select pros (they have to have this cert to be able to install F1 series) and get the F1 pinnacle for 389.  Really appreciate the help!

I have another quote of Pinnacle series for 389 (definitely would do that over 399 for CTX since you said its 2nd gen) and I have a suntek CIR (ceramic) quote for 270.  Not sure about suntek as a brand i hear good things but i dont hear things like industry best like i do with llumar.

Yes, I meant to say ATR not ATX I was getting confused.  So for 399 you think its worth getting CTX over 275 for the color stable?  125 isnt going to break the bank for me and the only next option is to pay 600 for 3m crystalline which just seems overpriced to me for a window tint.  Im not even that concerned with heat reduction im 24 years old I am more interested in the quality and the look than anything.  But if 125 extra is a significant upgrade than by all means im interested in the CTX.

Can someone explain to me the difference between the two and is one that much better than the other.  Also I was reading some forums and people in 2014 were saying they could get Llumar CTX for $270...  The only shop near me offering Llumar has ATX for 299 and 399 for the CTX ceramic.  I live in the Northern Virginia area which is one of the most expensive in the country.  Are these good prices in 2018 or should i look elsewhere?  Also open to other brand suggestions ( I have an offer for 3m color stable for 275 but unsure about its quality).
