Just had Tim install Cerelux to all sides and rear yesterday. Looks great. On the fence about doing the pano roof and windshield, especially since on my CPO P85+ there is a fair number of micro pits - may want to replace the windshield. Next stop - having Tim install xpel to the front.

Thanks SD Diver! Was great meeting you and working on your P85+. Can't wait to see it back for more protection

I and a number of people I know have Llumar's ceramic AirBlue80 on our windshields. Works great and I personally do not notice any difference. It's a very faint blue like a contact lense "visibility tint", and that never bothered me either. The difference in heat radiating onto you before and after was very noticeable!

I got quoted the following for all side windows including rear hatch:
$795 for Photosync
$750 for Huper Optik
I thought Huper would cost less.

Also if you read the tinting forums, this car is a cakewalk to tint. That is one bad thing about this car. You get gouged for simple work.

What should I be looking for in Huper?
Also I found some interesting reads about tint from a tinting forum.

All sides including the front sides? Problem in the Bay Area is there is only 2 tint shops who do Huper. I might change my mind and just go with Lumar since it was only 490 for all 9 windows.

Love the look , but I'm sticking with Florida legal 35 on sides and rear, with illegal 75 front. Going with photosync. Appointment in a week. Saturday my sport line metallic grey cyclones go on.

Any communication issues after the tint install?
A local service advisor told me to not install it, said if there are communication issues they can't troubleshoot and they call HQ, first question is asked....does it have tint. I am leaning towards installing it, worst case is removal.

FYI, I have no "communication differences" in my MS with Photosync 55 on sides and rear.
For me, the consideration was some older tech, perhaps less expensive films, have actual metal in the film that can cause issues, not only for built-in antennas, but for any device (like cell phones) within the vehicle. One of the reasons I went with Photosync was it has no metallics to possibly cause such issues.

I agree with BertL, as long as you don't get a film with metal flakes you should be fine, the ceramic tints do not block any cell phone reception. Heres a link to 3m's description but basicly, "...Metal-free design with no electronic interference, Will not interfere with cell phones, GPS systems or satellite radio"

I would be careful with installing Huper on any modern car with wireless tech, the Tesla included. They have lines of film specifically made with "Metallics, Drei and Sech". Although their "Ceramic" film claims to have no metals, our testing has shown otherwise.
PhotoSynce and CeraLuxe both contain absolutely no signal interfering metals or metallic's while also outperforming all other films on the market. We have tested these vigorously compared to many other "ceramics" on the market and have chosen to offer both based on this testing.
Those looking for the best window films on the market should look into CeraLuxe or Photosync.
