Lol that reminds me. My dad had a 54 Ford coupe back in the day and he painted the back windows black, took out the back seat, and put a mattress back there. He always told us it was for sleeping, ofcourse...hrm.

I used to have Lluma film. It turned purple in one year. The quality of the film is not great.

With probably over 250 cars from I-club being done by him and his Lumina tint in the last 4 years, I'd say ZERO have had any issues.

I've had my tint on my car for 2.5 years now, and it's still looks JUST as good as the day he put it on.

Sometimes it's not the product, but the person who uses it.

i agree with gagan 100%. i got my tint done around march/april as soon as i got my car and vincent did an amazing job. the tint has been on my car for almost a year now and not one defect what so ever. since day one it has not discolored or bubbled...i followed the directions and didnt roll down the windows for 5-7 days and left it be (man it was hot lol)

I have nothing against the person. Shoot... if any of my customers ask for llumar tint I'll refer him. I'm all for tint dealers who has superb installs.
As for film turning purple it has nothing to do with install quality or the how it's used. All films eventually fade or turn purple depending on how it's made. Some faster then others. metalized film tend to last longer, but some people see reduction in radio signals.(especially AM)
Every brands top of the line films are all great. llumar, madico, suntek, solargard, 3M The all make great films. What each dealer carry as their line is up to each own.
Just ask for the best.
*edit* I originnaly meant that the film that i got was not great. When I got my tint i didn't have a choice, got it as a package deal with clear bra.

im not saying your services arent quality or anything CCPro, ive just never experienced them and i am meerly making a recommendation of Omega Tintwerks since theyre quality is superb and is known across several boards than just iclub (some vw, audi, porsche forums iirc).
