Model 3 Tint Thread

Do you have more angles of the front? I'm planning to do a light tint on all the side windows and leaving the front/back as is. Deciding between 40 or 50% Suntek CIR.

Suntek CIR 20% rear, 40% front. I have bad eyes and drive at night so I can't have it too dark. $260 installed in SF Bay Area.

15% LLumar all around no windshield

Should have got 30% ideally

This is absolutely beautiful - reminds me of my Charger's B5 Blue color. Fantastic

I recently got my car tinted, Llumar IRX 30/20/70/70 sides/rear/top/front. It needs to go back next week as I requested one-piece rear and they did two, and the seam line is very noticeable. Also it seems like they did 20 on the rears. A few areas of bubbles which they say will clear up, and what looks like a hairline trapped which may need to be redone.

Of a higher concern is what looks like stains on the center stoplight from water used during tinting. I cannot get into this area to clean at all and doing research, it looks like you have to take apart the entire rear upholstery and trim to access that area. Tint guy says it’s condensation and will clear up but I’ll review with him during the appt next week. Doesn’t seem like this has been a huge issue for others? Has anyone run into this at all?

Ah, I love that color. I always wanted the SRT8 in B5 blue, that is until the Model 3 came along.
I wish Tesla had a slightly lighter blue co.or of some sort. Tesla’s blue is just too dark for my tastes.

It sounds like you got a sub-par installer. If there are bubbles, it means the installation is incorrect. The bubbles will probably (visibly) disappear, but they are still there and will show themselves again when the installation starts to fail in a couple of years. We've all seen the older tint job with the large bubbles: that's what you'll have prematurely.

Try searching/posting in the California regional section. That way you're not limited to M3 owners

Check out Tintman in Murrieta! Got mine tinted there, and really happy with how it came out (Llumar IRX side and rear + Air 80 windshield).

Any recommendations for tints in the Boston area? Whats the approximate cost for tinting 35% on 4 side windows and back, and 6" of windshield?

Also for smoky or slight tinting of headlights/taillights

I didn't really know about the regional sections for a while myself so I like to let people know about them.

Good luck!

Kind of late, but anyone in Massachusetts should see Paulo at South Shore Tint & Paint Protection. The guy is a perfectionist, and he did my car.

Front PPF, Ceramic, and 35% tint sides and rear.
