06 / BEFORE THE CREDITS
A FEW
PLOT DETAILS.
Is darker tint always cooler?
Shade and heat protection are different things. Ceramic film can provide strong infrared rejection without choosing the darkest appearance. Ask the shop to compare actual film specifications.
What is CIR ceramic tint?
CIR means CeramicIR, a SunTek ceramic window film. Its metal-free construction helps reject heat and infrared energy and reduce glare while maintaining electronic connectivity. Evolve is SunTek's higher-performing ceramic line. Ask Lee to compare both for your vehicle.
Can you help me choose my film?
Yes. Bring your vehicle or share its year, make and model, and discuss your priorities: heat, glare, appearance and privacy. The right recommendation depends on the glass and how you use it.
What tint can I use on my vehicle?
The appropriate film depends on your vehicle and which windows are being tinted. Ask the shop to review applicable requirements before installation. The visual shade selector is a style illustration, not a legal recommendation.
What should I know after installation?
Follow the shop's curing and cleaning instructions for the film installed. Ask when to roll the windows down, what temporary haze to expect and which cleaning products to use.
How do I get a price or appointment?
Call 321-368-7065 or use the quote builder above to prepare a text with your project details. The shop will confirm film choices, pricing and appointment availability directly.
