  1. I'm deciding between these two films for my windshield and I'm note sure if the autobahn is worth twice as much, I got a quote for $400! Here in MI I believe there's only one tint ship that even carries the Autobahn brand so I guess he can charge whatever he wants. Looking at the specs there doesn't seem to be that much of a difference. For the last 10 years I've had Solar Gard Ultra Performance 70 on my windshield which I believe has TSER of 40%, so even the XR Prime 70% would be an upgrade. Also, is XPEL XR cermaic? I'm confused about that, I believe XPEL PLUS is ceramic but what about the XR line? It seems that here in MI 99% of the tint shops don't even use the PLUS line, stating that: 1. Customers don't like the unnatural blue hue 2. The minimal benefit of the PLUS heat rejection isn't worth the extra $$$ I'm thinking of going with the XR Black 70% for the WS but wanted to hear other's opinions. Prior to the Solar Gard 70% on my windshield I had some cheap no brand name 50% tint on my WS on my 4Runner, but I also had retrofitted HIDs with 55w ballasts so the lighting at night was a non issue. Now that all cars come with LEDs (which I believe are worse than HIDs, especially when it rains/snows) I'm thinking of sticking with 70%.
  2. I'm looking to get my new car tinted with Huper Optik Ceramic in Oakland County, Michigan, but am having a hard time finding a tint shop that carries this awesome tint. About 10 years ago I had Huper Optik Ceramic 50% applied to my sedan and SolarGuard 75% on my windshield and I love the look because it makes it look so classy, especially with the silver trim that's around my window. I love how the percentage tint always seems to be shifting, depending on the weather. For example, in the summer time when it's 100 degrees it barely looks like there's anything on and in fall/winter it looks a lot darker, like 20%, it always seems to be shifting in darkness. Also, I like how reflective it is. I'd love to get Huper Optik Ceramic installed again but it doesn't seem like a lot of shops carry it. In the last 10 years is there a better new ceramic tint then HO? I'm not interested in "dark" black tint. I'd like to get either HO 40% on the windows and HO 30% on back and Solarguard 75% on windshield.
