1 More Window Tint Question????
I want to do this right and am asking for help….I have talked to a couple of tinters in my local area (Knoxville). In talking with them they use Sun Tek carbon film. Does anyone have any experience with it? It sounds like a great product but there is nothing like experience….
Thanks in advance!

I have Suntek Carbon on my C5, works well in all regards (shade, UV, quality). Its been on for 3 years and looks great. As with any tint, make sure you don't use any glass cleaners (etc...) on it. I use a wet rag and thats its. You can also use mild soap solutions.

What tinters are you looking at to do your'e car? I will be having mine done, and not sure who to use in the area.
Also are you having a clear bra done if so who are you looking at for that.
Thank you in Advance.

Suntek carbon film is an excellent tint to go with. I have had it on two of my vehicles and was very happy with both. Their paint protection film is also outstanding. A far as Llumar I hear their tint is pretty good but their paint protection film is very poor. I tested their latest film out and it looked terrible after a few months. Either Suntek or Xpel Ultimate are the way to go when it comes to paint protection.

We don't have a big selection of "Pro Tinters" in our area. I am thinking about using (Dr Detail, 865 851-7907 Chad). I spoke with him on the phone and then went and met him.
I feel comfortable that they will do a quality job. I am going with Sun Tek Carbon 38 Black. We live in a very rural area that doesn't have a lot of highway lighting. I don't want to block my side vision and not be able to see what comes wandering out of the woods. As you know we have lots of furry creatures that decide to cross our path.
I am not having mine done until next week, I have a a sample book and want to make sure I do it right the first time. Feel free to call or email me……who knows, maybe we can get a deal!!

Welcome to the C7, I am more than happy with my purchase from Reeder..I believe I have met everyone that works there and they have all been professional and courteous…..Not extremely knowledgable about the Stingray….talk with Rick.

I will be interested in finding out how Dr Detail does for you. I have heard the Sun Tek is good stuff. I also understand about being a rural area, 20 miles to town for me
I will still probably go the darkest legal.
