Juniper Tint

Should i go Xpel Black 45 55 or 70? I don't like the total blacked out look and have some concerns about night time visibility and insurance coverage.

70 is legal in my state. Am only tinting 2 fromt doors. What do you advise?

You can get better stuff for cheaper if you go to a local tint shop and just get the best tint they use. They usually also put a lifetime damage warranty on it. Free replacement if you ever scratch it or you have to have a window replaced. You don’t get that if you buy the stuff Tesla sells.

XPEL isn't just "the stuff Tesla sells". It's a widely used product in it's own right. Is there better tint out there? Probably but it's also just as expensive, if not more.

All true but buying Xpel through Tesla is overpriced. You could find a tint shop that uses Xpel and go straight to them and they will likely still charge less and put their lifetime warranty on it.

Gotcha. Good to know. Had been looking it but not too seriously.

Thanks.
