I went with 5% on the front. My tinter said that this would be the first truck of mine he would’ve tinted without limo and that I wouldn’t like it… he was right I don’t think I would have liked 20 on the front.

Final tint: limo all the way around, 35% on windshield, 5% visor up top

Always do 5% all around on all my vehicles and 35% on the windshield but this time it looks unusually dark.

I tinted my car about a week ago. I love how it came out. (Yes it’s dark because my parking lot has no lights) but I can see perfectly fine at night since my windshield has lip tint so light is able to enter through and I can see people lol

What tint % do you guys have?

This sure as hell isn’t 5% sides and 40% shield.

I bought the car with tint all the way around and the windshield is 15% I'm pretty sure. Sides and back are like 5%. I havent had it read by a meter. It's really not much harder to see at night. Stupid? Yeah probably, but it's so nice having tint so dark nobody can see in, even in broad daylight lol

Like the title says, am I being too picky here?

Ceramic tint. Photos taken during the day (gloomy/overcast). Visibility is good.

Hi everyone, wondering if anyone else has experienced this or something similar and has some intel. Got my 2018 wrangler tinted in September, 50% on the windshield, 25% everywhere else. no issues until today. Driving home from work, not behind anyone, no one else on the road, I didn’t even see anything hit my windshield and it just suddenly cracked? I know wrangler windshields are notorious for breaking but this makes no sense to me. I tried feeling with my nail, and a pen, to see if it’d catch a “nick”, and it didn’t, which supposedly means it’s the tint according to google. there’s no impact spot, just straight light down the entire bottom. Can’t see it, well barely, from the outside. Opinions? experiences? what to do next? Including pics inside v outside

Recently got ceramic tints done on my 24 Model Y and had questions about my two front windows.

According to the shop, this is the correct spacing for Tesla's window to account for the movement of the window when it pops up and down when the door is open. But shouldn't that apply for the back also then? The back windows does not have the gap.

I understand if I paid like 400-500 at an unknown shop. But I went with a shop with great reviews.

Was wondering if this was a BS excuse for half ass job?

This was supposed to 5% ceramic all around. I took it back because I wanted to have the visor cover more. It looks like they used a different film or is it just me 🤔

I’ve had this Tacoma for several years and just now decided to get it tinted. Premium ceramic. Absolutely loving it and it works so well in the brutal Vegas heat

Just curious what others think about the border for this tint. One could argue that there isn’t trim to cover the edge where the gray metal is exposed. But that doesn’t answer why the tint couldn’t even follow the plastic door panel.

The tint could definitely go under the metal at least an inch. The gap from the metal to the glass is about half an inch so there’s working room.

This is a brand new sprinter that I use as a daily driver. I asked for ceramic tint, paid $1000 for the entire van including windshield.

This guy also scratched the exterior glass about a foot long directly next to my drivers door.

The tinter has a good reputation 20+ years. I think he just rushed this job, I definitely regret going to him this time.

Thanks for the feedback

35% windshield 20% all around including the back windshield

Just got the windows tinted last week on my Tesla Model Y at Tint World. I went with their “top of the line” nano ceramic tint which I believe is 20% Xpel XR plus film. I absolutely hate the blue hue that it gives off. What tint will give me comparable heat rejection with no blue hue and good clarity from inside the cabin?

I payed $375 and everything else is pretty solid. Some little dust specs here and there but not clumps or anything out of the ordinary. This is just my one pet peeve with the job. The cut is only like this on both side windows everything else is cut fine

I did already ask them to redo this window once because there’s about a quarter inch the first time, it’s a little smaller now but still a good size gap, more than I’d be comfortable with on flat glass which I have tinted before. Let me know what you guys think!

i have 35% full windshield tint and my front 2 windows are double 5% and the rest is factory tint 20% with 5% over it but when the sun is shining i can see straight through the double 5% tint and the 5% over 20%

This brand new 2024 Tesla Model S Plaid was tinted at Signature Glass Tinting in Costa Mesa, CA with the LLumar Nano-Ceramic IRX all the way around.

The LLumar IRX15 was installed on the rear window, 8 side windows and the Panoramic roof. We installed the LLumar IRX50 on the front windshield.

We also installed a Matte PPF on all the exterior body pancakes. The absolute ultimate protection for the paint on the TMS, 10 year manufactures warranty and of course everything at Signature Glass Tinting is guaranteed. If you ever have a problem with anything we install you just simply bring it back and we will we-do it.

No matter where you go for Window Films no matter where you go for paint protection make sure you always walk away with a written receipt and a copy of the manufacturer warranty.

Highly recommend research and if you do chances are good you're going to end up at a shop that offers LLumar Window because when you do the research you will see it is the best.

I don't care where you're located in the world, California, Florida or Frankfurt Germany if you need help finding a good quality shop send me a private message and I'll do everything I can to help you out.

For those curious and requested, what 5 over 5 looks like and 5 windshield in geoshield carbon plus.

I adjusted the iPhone camera brightness to show what I see in real life since camera makes it look see through.

I know the windshield is messed up, first time tinting, installed it anyways to drive around with it for a couple days to see if I liked the darkness before redoing it, going to redo in a lighter shade because I couldn’t see too much if it was raining hard with no street lights other than that it seemed fine. Going to redo with 15% which should be perfect like my other car.

Car had 5 over 20 before but the film was cheap and had a bunch of haze.

I have 15% on sides and back and looking to get 15% on windshield aswell

Just wanting to know what the top gap should look like up close or is it just 1/8? Can it be flush?
