    I'm trying to make up my mind between F1 Pinnacle and Huper Optic. Seems like HO is more expensive.

    It maybe because its actual ceramic tint, if your going lighter, 30%, its a no brainer to go Huper because it has higher TSER on paper wise. I went Fomula one because it allowed to go down to 5%, huper optik does too, but much harder to find below 30%

    I can't go that dark since I want to stay within legal limits. That means I can only get 5o% since the car comes with 75% which results in an overall of ~37% and the state limit is 35%. It sucks but I don't want to have to deal with any issues in the future.

    I hear you, going ceramic is definitely the way to go for lighter and interestingly on paper huper optic 50 vs fomula one 50 looks to be the same on paper with 43% TSER rating, so heat wise it appears the same, so color hue and tint quality and maybe their warranty makes the difference.


    Wishing there was a third party tester for the TSER ratings to get a more thorough analisys if huper optik vs formula one was actually better in real world. I heard there are fishy way of boosting TSER with some companies.

    This link claims 50% TSER for the Ceramic 50. Well it calls it "X-treme Multilayered Ceramics 50".
