Camaro Tint Cost

Hello everyone,
Obviously there are several similar topic in the forum, but I just cant find exact one I need.
I got a quote from a tint shop, here are price (all 35%, sides, quarters and rear):
3m FX premium: 176.99+tax and disposal
3m Crystalline: 499.99+tax and disposal
3m Color Stable: still waiting for reply

Are these quotes reasonable? And what exactly the disposal cost is?
Any suggestion?
How much you guys paid for a 3M film includes everything?

Thank you guys

Tint is one if those things it's worth spending the extra money on to get good material no matter what. Those prices aren't out of line with what I've paid for similar products w/ quality installation.

That depends on your point of view. If you know your putting illegal tint on it might be wiser to not go top grade since you may have to scrape it off someday.

On a Camaro we charge $149.99, $349.99 for ceramic tint. Lifetime warranty on both. There is nothing to dispose of with window tint so all I can assume is that it is a few extra dollars in their pocket.

Do I have to Google - or can someone explain the upside to the ceramic tint mentioned versus ordinary tint.

Ceramic tints can ward off 99% of ultraviolet radiation and also keep a lot of the infrared radiation out of the interior of your car. This facilitates in quicker cooling of the car’s interior, and it also protects it better from fading and other damage due to heat and uv rays than other tints. The place that I had install mine had a very good demonstration for how well the films worked using a flood lamp and panes of glass with each different film on them. First you would put your hand in front of the lamp and yeah it was pretty hot then they would put the different panes between your hand and the light so you could feel how much heat each blocked. With the ceramic you could not really feel much heat.
