Anyone have White Interior with tint?

[whatthe2]

30% Suntek Ceramic on sides and 20% on rear. No windshield tint. Photos when it was cloudy. Car had just gotten Kamikaze ceramic applied by me before taken.

Do you have a pic of the rear you can post?

Debating if I want to do the rear or not.

You absolutely want to do the rear.

1. It will look weird if you don't.
2. It will look weird if you don't.
3. It is easier to park the car so that you use the tint on the rear as your sunshade than trying to come up with a way to do this if you have the side windows tinted. For whatever reason it seems that most parking lots of have plenty of east/west facing spots. This, along with additional privacy is one reason that some tint the rear window darker than the others.

Haha. So you’re saying it will look weird if I dont?

One more question. Does it look odd having the rear more tinted than the sides or is it not really noticeable?

Mine don’t have the rear tinted and it does not look weird. I like the rear fade look that it currently has. There are plenty of pics with cars that don’t have their rear done. It’s is personal opinions of course.

What possible reason could there be for not tinting the rear? Whether you tint for aesthetics, heat rejection or privacy having rear tint makes sense.

Before I got mine done my guy walked me around 3 or 4 Model 3's with 30% on the windows. The ones with white seats looked like almost no tint was on them so I went darker. My calipers are actually orange and that pic was taken before the back was done. Here is more recent one:

Here are a few of mine. Front/Rear windows are CeraLuxe Quantum 20%. Windshield Spectra PhotoSync 65%, Moon roof/rear back glass 35%.

Has anyone done tinting with Suntek? I'm wondering if those will be OK.

 

[spesler]

Mine is Suntek CIR. 20% sides, 30% back. I can’t tell the difference between it and the Llumar CTX I had on my past few cars. I’ve heard that Suntek is “b-tier” tint, but I also think people can sometimes be overly picky around here.

The tint shop pointed out to me that they always recommend going a little darker with white interior due to the amount of contrast.

That doesn’t change how dark the tint will get at night or affect mirror visibility at night. Even with the level of tint I have I find that the side mirrors are now quite dark and I have to recheck them more often when changing lanes.

These pics aren’t great but this is just after dawn full in Colorado so full direct sun.

Very clean pic, what kind of camera did you use?

I haven't found any troubles seeing at night at all. With that CO sun 30% just isn't enough!

30% all around except front roof and windshield, white interior. no issues.

I am totally fine with 30% tint. For about 3 months out of the year I'm driving to work when it's dark or nearly dark out and driving home when it's dark. I don't need to get into a wreck because I'm having trouble seeing out of the windows in an effort to make my car "look better".

 

[Unique]

what brand?

Pinnacle ceramic with one piece rear (special order roll) for $500

I'm glad you are happy!
