Default Carbon tints

Hey guys, I'm in the process of tinting my gurl up, and wanted to get u guys input on the difference between carbon vs regular tint. Tint guy says it's better but I don't know if he's just blowing smoke in my face or not. They want 235 for carbon and 180 for regular and I'm going for 35%.

235 seems cheap to be ceramic. ive never heard of carbon. also i feel it is worth mentioning huper optik (sp?) is a ceramic tint, and i have never found a window tinter who will install it on a back window or a windshield.

I put it on mine and we like it. Keeps the heat out much better than regular tint that I have on my other car. Just my 2 cents
