Why We Picked It

This precut kit of MotoShield Pro’s ceramic film gives you a durable, high-quality window tint that’s easier to apply than roll film. This strong 2-mil film uses ceramic nanoparticles to block up to 99% of both UV and infrared radiation, helping protect the occupants and interior as well as blocking more solar heat. It’s available in a variety of shades, ranging from 5% to 75% VLT (visible light transmission). You can buy a wide range of configurations for cars, SUVs, minivans, and trucks. A 10-foot roll of 20-inch film is about $50.


Pros & Cons
Best Window Tint on a Roll
Why We Picked It

If you’d rather cut your own window tint, you can buy MotoShield Pro’s premium ceramic film in a variety of rolls, for a range of prices. The price above is for a 10-foot roll of 20-inch film, but you can get it in other lengths and widths. Or, if you want to do multiple vehicles, you can buy a professional 100-foot roll of 20-, 40- or 60-inch film. As with the precut kits, this strong 2-mil film comes in a range of shades from 15 to 75 VLT. And its ceramic nanoparticles help block up to 99% of both UV and infrared radiation.


Pros & Cons
Best Precut Carbon Film Kit
Why We Picked It

Embedded with tiny carbon particles, this window tint provides a great balance between quality and price. And the precut kit makes it easier to install. This carbon film blocks more infrared radiation and heat than less-expensive dyed films, as well as up to 99% of UV rays. And it holds up better over time. This 1.5-mil, two-ply film is available in a range of shades, and it’s covered by a lifetime warranty. As some users note, the film can be cut oversized with the window’s shape outlined in it, so you may have to do the final trimming


Pros & Cons
Best Carbon Film on a Roll
Why We Picked It

As with the precut kits, Lexen’s strong two-ply, 1.5-mil Premium Carbon film is a great value that combines quality and affordability. Using tiny embedded carbon particles, this film reflects more infrared radiation and heat than dyed films, and it holds up better over time. It also doesn’t cause the electronic interference associated with metallic films. The price shown here is for a 24-inch x 10-foot roll. But you can get it in different widths and lengths, including 100-foot rolls. Lifetime warranty.


Pros & Cons
Best for People on a Tighter Budget
Why We Picked It

This single-layer, dyed film is one of the least expensive window tints we’ve seen from a reputable company. The Gila brand is a subsidiary of Eastman Performance Films, which also makes LLumar, a popular professional brand. The film provides all of the basic benefits that you want from a window tint: privacy, less glare and heat, and a stylish look. It also blocks over 99% of UV rays. A roll that measures 24” x 78” (6.5 feet) is about $10. Two-year warranty.
