Hi everyone. I’m picking up my MYP next week.
I’m planning on doing the following to the car immediately:
- Full PPF
- Window Tints (front, windshield, and sunroof) for the heat in Phoenix
- potentially ceramic coating? Is it worth it?
Does anyone have a recommended shop in the Phoenix area...
Having been in the automotive aftercare (Detailing, Paint Protection and Window Tint) business in San Diego County for 20 years even I am sometimes astonished as to how far the technology has come in the automotive world. Carburetors are a distant memory. Even engines are almost obsolete at this...

This week, an XPEL install center treated this 2015 Tesla Model S with PRIME XR PLUS ceramic window tint. Hard to believe this Tesla is six years old already, and judging by the photo it is aging rather well!
At one of our XPEL install shops this Tesla Model 3 showed up looking to have its glass wrapped in PRIME XR PLUS ceramic window tint.
Our tint is UV protected against 99% of harmful UV rays and deflects 98% of infrared heat.

I was getting quotes from a few local places and one shop gave me a reasonable quote for the Excel IRP. At first I thought it was a typo and he meant xpel, but he said it was Excel IRP, so I looked it up. The numbers are good, but will it look good, will it last?
This isn't the shop I contacted...
Happy to join the group and will be taking delivery of a MY in May. With summer approaching, I want to install heat repelling tint, stay legal and look cool. Can I get suggestions for what windows others have tinted, suggested brands of competitively priced installations in Tucson? Many thanks.
Anyone know what percent UV protection the roof and rear windows provide? Just had a little battle with skin cancer from all the sun and surf and am trying to avoid having more of my face taken off me. If you can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!
Any recommendations for a relatively inexpensive yet quality tint in the Bay Area? I have a m3 and only want to do all 4 side windows, not the sunroof. If you could provide an estimate cost you were quoted/paid, I’d appreciate that!
Also, any recommendations for %s or photos of your tints? I...

Has anyone put clear tint film on the front windshield? History is I live in Las Vegas and we need to protect from the summer heat and sun. There are almost no sun screens yet for the MY but several places here in town are putting clear tint on the front windshield to reduce heat transmission...
I love my 3- love the way it drives, but would like to customize it to make it 'look' more upscale. I'm thinking new wheels (19"), more tint on the windows than factory, brake caliper upgrade, etc.... What does everything think are the right customizations for the grey model 3? And where in OC...
By now you have probably heard of paint protection film for the exterior of your Tesla. But did you know that you can have PPF applied to the inside of your Tesla on the piano black surfaces? Those piano black surfaces tend to get swirled, scratched, bumped, and bruised. The XPEL PPF will cover...

I’m torn if I should take the car to have PPF, ceramic and tint done right after picking the car up. Or. Should I wait a week or two and make sure everything with the car is okay?
I have a white interior M3 and I think I'm going to jump ship and tint my windows.
I'm getting burnt by the sun and feel naked in my car.
Any recs for a place in Sydney? I'm willing to travel to get someone good.
