Carbon Window films will never fade or turn purple, while conventional dyed films will eventually fade and have to be removed. Carbon window tint costs more than dyed film but not as much as Ceramic or Crystalline series window films.

• Dyed Window Tint (*Average cost for a full car 'all sides and rear' is $399.95)
