Looks amazing. What's the brand of tint?

Any pics of the 70 all the way around? Can you tell it has tint? What is the heat rejection like?

Pinnacle 30 front sides, 15 on rear sides & back. Lone Star Window Tinting (Hurst, TX) did an excellent job.

Yes, some people have tinted the pano -- comments from others upthread. Some did it "just because" everything else was in being tinted, others because they had personal intent. I elected not to do my pano given the UV and heat rejection built-in to the OEM pano itself and have not been disappointed in my decision running around here in SoCal, So Nevada and AZ, but you could. ...but I did have Photosync 55 applied on sides and rear and nothing on the windshield or pano. I remain happy with my decision.

Personally, I don't think you're going to come to any conclusion on the pano from comments here -- I didn't. My suggestion is, tint the sides and rear. Hold off on the pano until the heat begins and then decide for yourself. It may save you a couple hundred bucks that way.

Bert, I'm in Carmel Valley waiting for delivery. Where did you have yours dine?

Congrats on your order.
Take a peek upthread a page or two for several posts from a number of us here in SD. Unless you want to go up to Costa Mesa or LA, Monumental Workx is the only place down here for Photosync right now. There is another guy that says he's working on becoming authorized and presently offers alternatives as others do, but I've not seen any confirmation he's through the process. Monumental did a great job for me and some others.
Enjoy that MS when it arrives!

Thanks! I've used MW for my current vehicles. Good to hear. Now if I'd only see an update on the status of my CPO silver P85+...

We currently offer CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic which is also manufactured by Prestige Films, the manufactures of Photosync. It offers the same attributes as photo sync with about 20% less cost. Photosync still outperforms by an average of 10% but a great option as well! Monumental is currently the only photo sync dealer in San Diego, although we are working on getting it shortly as well!

Tim from Adonis is correct. Ceraluxe Quantum Ceramic is a very good alternative for those seeking a high-performing window film. It made by the same manufacturer as Spectra Photosync, so you know it is of the highest quality. Many of our Tesla owners (Model X and S) opt for Ceraluxe when budget is a concern. It is also the 2nd highest heat rejecting film on the market. In the Southern California area, the only Authorized Dealers are:

Extreme Autowerks in Cerritos, CA (www.extremeautowerks.net)
Adonis Detail in Carlsbad, CA (www.adonisdetail.com)
Monumental in San Diego, CA (www.monumentalworkx.com)

Just out of curiosity what film has the highest heat rejection? is that photosync?

No prob! Glad to help, congrats on the MS. We have clients come down from LA all the time, let me know if I could help we could arrange something!

Anyone nearby Tim, should seriously take a look at his work against the other companies. It is very good.

Recently got a quote for Huper Optik on sides and rear --$399. Will probably go with this as Photosync is a bit above my budget. Llumar CTX was $299 but it seems the Huper is worth the extra.

My question is whether anyone has gotten Llumar Air90 on the windshield? This particular shop says that's all they carry for windshields. Any experience positive or negative? It's $150.

Question....Does the warranty travel with the car? Say I move to California (or some other random place) and need warranty work done. Would other Photosync dealers honor the other guys work or would we get charged again?

You can come to your own conclusion by reading the specific product's warranty -- they will vary by mfgr. e.g. the way I read the Spectra Photosync Warranty, it's lifetime warranty is not transferrable and covers only the product itself; it also excludes improper installation which is why it's so important to check-out the work of your (almost always independent) installer before having the work done.

 

[Cowby]

Yes, I've seen the warranty info. The question was more directed to the installers who chimed in here to see their responses. A muted reply says a lot to me.

First thing I am doing after taking delivery is getting Hüper Optik tint installed.
