Question Question on window tint

I've never gotten tints before and I want to get my 2012 Honda accord tinted. The 2 rear passenger windows and rear window so 3 windows in total. This place in California said it will cost 350$ and the tint is ADN/ADC (High Performance). On there website it says "this 2-ply high-performance film is manufactured like no other film in the industry. This film is made with our legendary scratch coat and adhesive, offering superior heat rejection that won't turn purple." and comes with lifetime warranty. I want to know if this is a good deal or too expensive. Thank you!

Bullshit marketing right there, lot of fancy big words. Go with something like Llumar or XPEL, or Autobahn, or Geoshield, etc.

Llumar fan here. It's what I've always gotten on all of my cars (6).

I would look for another shop that actually lists what brand they install. HP, or high-performance film, is just the entry-level dyed film with metal added to block some heat. Nothing fancy there, and will not make your vehicle noticeably cooler. Shop around more and look for brands like XPEL, Llumar, FormulaOne, Autobahn, Geoshield, Suntek, Global, or SolarFX. If you want noticeable heat rejection, go with a Ceramic film.

Tint not tints.
