Model 3 Tint Thread

[Matte_3]

I'm going to a different shop and getting a 2nd opinion because mine seems a little excessive, but I'll find out for sure Friday

they either dragged the tint on your interior or didnt do a good job cleaning.

If the shop cant do the rear 1 piece please find another shop. A more experience tinter can only do the rear.

take a picture of your CHROME trimming before you drop off the car. (tinters have to trick your windows to activate up, they might accidentally close your windows and hit the chrome piece.) ive seen this done many times!

I'm seeing mostly California shops recommended in this thread. Is there anyone with glowing recommendations in Florida?

For Tampa or Sarasota - First Impressions
For Orlando - Tintman

As you can see, the 50 is pretty subtle in appearance, but the high quality film does a lot in heat protection, which is really nice here in the south.

Looks like it's not tinted at all. Is the top picture tinted?

The shop I've been going to for the past few years quoted $175 for sides & rear. Compared to what some of you paid, the price I'm quoted is very low. I wonder if it's just a regional thing?

What type of film?

$175 is the lower end film. Anything $300+ is the better film.

been doing it 10. years this way and 5% is only way to go for me every time. you get used to the low night time visibility and learn to roll your windows down when parallel parking to see curbs, and when turning left/right at busy intersections.

This remind me of my teen days, I was at 15% front and limo back. I Love the darkness. But now a days my eyes are not like back then anymore and I need to see if cop is behind me lol.

30% all around... could have gone darker but the 3 looks quite elegant with a subtle tint. That's what I was going for... subtle elegance.

haha. it is indeed dark. but it works for me atm. only thing that's annoying is the look of the rear window from the inside when it's super bright, just the fade/color switch is pretty harsh. luckily no one looks and also it provides great visibility

Got it all tinted today. Suntek Ceramic 35% all the way around. I did not get front windshield.

Anyone interested in a decent tint shop in LA area. I highly recommend. DM me.

Thanks.

not the best pic but here's 50% crystalline windows, 70% windshield

This is exactly the combo I was thinking of doing. Is the windsheild too dark at night? My installer wants $1000 for the side glass and windsheild.

no definitely not dark. you will forget you even tinted the windshield. $1000 is very high. I paid $700 in NYC.

Anyone have recommendations for a guy in South East Florida, preferably near Palm Beach? The quote I just got was a bit ludicrous...

Wow! You must have been the inspiration of my wheel setup.

Haha! That's funny. I actually got my inspiration from another car on this forum! I love the look! Only thing that's different about our setup is that I dropped mine 1" with the TSportline springs. And you have the red brake calipers, which I'm liking a lot! Did you have yours painted? Let me know. Thanks!
