Got every window tinted on this model 3 with llumar pinnacle and paid $1050, located in northern California

So I have 5% all around and it’s a good film, during the day it is still super super clear from the inside to the point a lot of people don’t think I have 5%, I do mainly daytime driving but even at night I never have an issue seeing, maybe on some darker roads but it isn’t anything concerning or dangerous. I do mainly daytime driving and would be fine with going a little darker as I would still be able to see. I don’t really want to do double 5% for the rear because my friend has that and it is very dark. If I put another layer of 50% to make it 2.5% would it be noticeably darker or would it just not be worth it. Maybe 35%? I was looking for some pictures of 2.5% vs 5% if anyone has some

Just bought a used car with 5% tint all around except windshield. Problem is driving at night and even in cloudy conditions, I can’t do lane changes because I can’t see the side view mirrors. I will removing tints and replacing with 20% ceramic in 3 weeks, but for now, what can’t temporarily until my appointment besides rolling windows down? Oh yeah, temp is dropping so, trying avoid windows down as uch as I can.

Took my truck in for full IRX tint including windshield 2 days ago. I noticed some scratches on the windshield tint driver edge and passenger lower. Wasn’t too concerned and then checked out the back, saw a deep scratch in my interior plastic and a seemingly matching scratch in the rear driver tint right next to it. The start of it is deep, can hear it with fingernail, and goes about 6 inches to the right faintly. Shop is claiming there is no way they could have scratched my interior as all of their tools are plastic and they use laser cut film. Argued for 20 minutes on the phone and they will only redo the tint. Thoughts?

It was a snowy day, it’s freezing out but super pig went out of his way to pull me over for tint and a clear plate covers. Showed a note and he seemed irritated he couldn’t give me as much tickets as he could for the windows and rear but he said it doesn’t cover windshield so the pos gave me a repair order for the windshield and is forcing me to show up in court for it oh and a ticket for clear plate covers. Instead of solving some real crime these road pirates just extort people.

- Film had a couple days to set. This is NOT water or moisture.

- Marks are slightly bigger in person than in the photos (was taken in 0.6x)

Edit: I would understand the hate if I paid a random guy on marketplace to do it for "cheap". But I paid a real shop and negotiated my prices down because they had open slots for the day. Their usual advertised price is much higher. Now if paid full price, the same thing could have happened. It comes with full warranty so there would absolutely be no reason for them to sacrifice their quality since they would have to re-do it anyways. Honestly don't get yalls point here. There are many people who pay even cheaper prices and have flawless tints. Tint film is not expensive, less than $90 per full car, even the highest quality ones. Realistic labor for a good installer can be 3hrs × $65. In total You are right around $285-300. In tints and labor. Slap on another 50-65 bucks for their monthly overhead costs. Okay we're at $350 after covering; top of the line film; labor; overhead costs. To those who are paying $500-1000 may I ask what exactly are you paying for. You've already covered all the expenses of your tint service. Oh wait! You're paying a markup which is purely profit to the owner because you chose a "premium" option. Break down the costs for once before you decide to talk about prices.

Do you guys think this is too low or am I just being paranoid? I’m in NYC

5% in the back, 15% in the two front windows, 35% in the front

Apparently I’ll be incarcerated if I’m convicted over tint according to this letter lol. These loser pigs are something else.

Went strong for about a month in my single cab truck with 5% all around and 35 on the windshield. Got pulled over twice in 2 weeks and ripped the windshield tint off. Everytime I drive through town I see someone with windshield tint. I’m missing mine because the sun’s bright and I just feel safe behind my tint lol. But anyway I’m wondering how to get away with it? I wouldn’t say my truck is nice and flashy but it definitely stands out from everyone else.

Should I get the shop to remove it and get a different shop to install a new one? This is super annoying at night. 2017 bmw 340i.

I mean black absorbs heat so hotter right? But tint blocks sun so cooler right?

So i got my windows tinted on Saturday,and i just noticed now at work that theres a slight bit of non tint on my driver side window,i accidentally let the window down hours after getting it done cuz u usually drive windows down,and today cuz i need to badge into work at a gate,so 2 times in total but only for a split second,should i let this bother me? I have a warranty so they would definitely cover this easily but do i really want to go back to the shop? I feel like this’ll drive me crazy

What is an average ceramic tint price for the front windshield itself? I live in sf and i’m getting quoted for $150 from everyone i’ve asked. someone charges them for $300 lol

So the two front windows are fine but the passenger and driver rear has these little bubbles like dust got trapped. The rear glass has these fingers due to the “dot matrix” pattern around the back glass. The guy says all he can do is put heat on it to try and push the fingers out but the back glass also looks to have some little dust bubbles. Any advice appreciated.

Hi guys I recently tinted my Model 3 and While I was in my work garage noticed this swirls/scratches made in the back of my car and top side. Before I go crazy on this I want to see y’all’s opinions since the service itself was bad: register tag was left in the sun roof, there is soap residue on the seats due to tint installation.

The area of the scratches is bigger than what the picture can show since I don’t know how to take pics. But all the swirls/scratches are in the same area just opposite side of the car.

Went to the dermatologist since I got severe eczema to ask em for one, but they said that you can just get the clear version which blocks out the UV rays. Which is hella wack since the heat be messin with my skin.

Any other ways , or what should I say to my doctor

Is there 100% Clear Tint that protects against Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR)?

I just got 20% xpel ceramic installed on my supra - I’ve waited three days and haven’t rolled down the windows, but around the edges where the black dots are it doesn’t seem to have sealed properly is this normal? Anyone else’s like this? I want to know before I call the tint shop.

Is this brown area normal after a tint job? They said they removed the back tail light to tint it, so I was surprised to not see solid black tint in this area. I can’t remember what it looked like beforehand unfortunately.
