No cop would be able to see that a windshield has 70% on the windshield unless they pull out a meter that reads VLT%

I should probably start a new thread for this question but have the option to go with xpel XR+ or Rayno phantom film s9 on my TMY. XPEL seems to have really good reviews on their film and the shop has good reviews but is a fairly new shop. The shop that uses Rayno has 400 five star reviews on...

Good to know DAGUG but according to my tint shop adding xpel XR black 70% to the rears would bring the VLT down to 14%. I'll have them do all the rear glass first and put a meter on them post tint to get an exact VLT reading and then go from there on whether I'll decide to go with 20% or 15%...

I meant to say *color. So your front and windshield have carbon ceramic but your rears don't have any tint whatsoever? Jus curious if your car still feels cool after being parked in the sun for few hours without any type of tint in the back?

Kamikaze Miyabi for the whole car including PPF and wheels and Gyeon View for the glass is what a buddy recommended that does detailing and paint correction. He said all these are easyily applied and DIY protectants but u can also pay someone to put it on.

50% is too dark for me at night. One of the side effects of my lasik is that my night vision has diminished. Plus 50% might get me pulled over for a fix it ticket in CA so I'll go with the 70% black or 70-80% blue wich should give me some of that IR and UV protection and keep the car somewhat...

How did it come out. A shop near me said that putting 70% xpel on all the rear glass brings the VLT to 14-16% so putting 30-35% xpel in the front will look good but won't match the rears because the front will be quite a bit lighter than the rears.

Same exact setup Im gonna get on my model Y when it arrives but I do see that the front is a bit lighter than the rear glass. I'm now debating whether I should jus go with 15% on the front glass so that it matches the rears to within 1-4% for a somewhat perfect match. I also want maximum heat...

How do the front sides with 35% cork compare to the factory 25% VLT in the rears?
