Model 3 Windows Tints

[Boston_Pilot]

Same 20% but with ceramic tint. is your ceramic ? I feel 20% to 25% is light and dark enough if you have black seats.

XPEL XR+ is what I have. It’s currently the #1 heat rejecting tint in the world. Yes, it is ceramic….and hella expensive.

Any opinions on Formula One Stratos tint?

$650 for the sides and rear window. Much less than I was expecting to pay, so I figured I’d go with the top tier at this shop.

But if it’s a shitty product, I’ll continue to shop around (Orlando).

Flying Window Tinters I presume? They've done my last 4 cars and did an excellent job on my 3. Will either be visiting them or Tint Man for Xpel with the new M3P and MYLR that are on order now.

Ultimate Window Tinting. Honestly was the first shop I called and the price seemed in the same ballpark as what others have posted.

And we’re going back in this week to have the windshield re-done. Not sure what, or how, it happened…but there was a “tear” of some sort. Meh…

How's the rear windshield look? I've had to have mine redone multiple times. It's a very very difficult glass to get right.

I put 20% all around (M3P- Black)... It took away an aesthetic aspect of the vehicle that I loved, especially with the ultra white interior. The white bled through.
I ended up taking off all the tint..
The car is beautiful, just the way it is.. (with a full ceramic coat, and PPF, of course.)

While waiting on the car(EDD last week of Dec) I'm looking into tint options. I've been thinking of 20% back and rear sides, 35% front sides and possibly 70-80% windshield. Car is white on white. I'm in Bay Area, CA. Any thoughts, tint %, brand and installer recommendations?

Go ceramic. In TX we can only go lowest 35% front sides, and I like uniform so I went with 35% all sides with 15% rear. Still visible. I did try 70% top and front but it was too easy to see imperfections there, so I had them remove it. Did a lot to remove heat though, it was great when it was on. Just, if you're OCD like me and will notice every little thing, do yourself a favor and skip the front windshield

Looking to get my windows tint done soon... Anyone in here done 5% rear window and lighter colors on the sides(20-35%)?

I used to do 5% back/rear windows and 35% front... Don't like the big shade difference from back to front windows.

id strongly suggest to keep the sidewindows front and back the same. Rear window 5% is ok but imho doing a 20% in the rear kinda matches the roof quite nicely so it looks like a uniform colour.
20% for the front is borderline too dark as pedestrians and cyclists wont be able to look inside at night.
Id go 30-35% all around imho.

I did 20% on the sides and did not tint the back, figuring if it bothered me later I could always have it done. Sides were all that were needed in my case.
