Another tinting question

[LunkHead]

Picked up my Model 3 and hit a tinting shop that is very reputable... They do a lot of high end cars and have 5 star ratings. My son also had his Hellcat tinted there is is very happy with them..

Now onto my question.. They are suggesting that I go ceramic on the sides and carbon on the top. I am going to go with 25% on the sides and top and 55% on the windshield per their recommendation. They are doing one piece for the top..

Thoughts on the suggestion for ceramic on the sides and carbon on the top?

Thanks!

55% on the windshield seems like asking for a ticket IMO. You will be able to tell it

Just curious.... Why ceramic on sides and carbon on top?

I thought the same and might have them change it... He said a lot run 55% and no issues but I was skeptical....

No clue, that's why I am asking if the recommendation makes sense... I can do ceramic on the top as well if I want but he recommended carbon for the top..

I have 50% ceramic all the way around including the roof and above the AS1 line on the windshield (no tint below). Very happy with it ... rejects a lot of heat compared to before it was tinted.

Does the car have an AS-1 line marker ?

I don’t understand the carbon on top. Also don’t go more than 70% on windshield if tinting entire thing.

Yes

I think I am going to go with ceramic on the top as well..

70% windshield then 25% for the rest..

All cars do; by law.

They may be suggesting that because they don’t have ceramic in big enough pieces to do the rear window. That’s been a problem.

I would do ceramic all the way around and skip tinting the front window. If you ever get in a accident at night, you are going to be on your own with that front window.

Thanks; I found the marker when I looked at my car.

They can do ceramic on the rear as one piece. I called yesterday and changed mine to 25% ceramic all around.. Yeah tinting the windshield can cause issues ect but I am going to do it at 70% anyways..

Had mine tinted yesterday. Used LLumar AIR clear window tint on the windshield. All the protection, without night time vision loss and potential tickets. Used Stratos 30 for the sides and rear. Extremely happy with the results. And fully legal in Florida.

And here is my car next to a brand new untinted Model 3 for comparison.

LLumar AIR 80 or 90? Do you notice improved heat rejection? I’m definitely feeling it this summer.
