Model S - Window Tinting

[Teriyaki88]

Dang! Everything costs more here in SD.

Edited: Crap. Called another place in SD. They wanted $895!!

I answered with a link just a little while ago and so a moderator is moderating that reply. I will post again without a link. Okay so that seems to me a bit high but not as high as I have other shop charge for the same film. I really depends on your location. We charge about $540 for that film here in San Antonio. Google 360 Tint

Two different lighting shots to hopefully catch the variation. 3M Performance FX 55%. So glad I didn't go with the 35% as I think it'd be far too dark(aesthetically speaking). 50% is our legal limit anyhow.

I went with Crystalline 40 on all doors and the rear window, and 70 on the Pano.

You had the perf+ retrofitted? How much did that run you? Factory price or did they charge you more?

Not sure I'm following? I didn't get paint armor from Tesla. The total was around $750.

Is this the multicoat red? If so, I love the way it looks indoors.

Call up Mr. Tintman in Escondido. Hands down the best tint shop in San Diego (every car in my sig has been tinted by them). Check their website for a coupon and make you sure splurge for FormulaOne Pinnacle. It's the best tint out there.

The performance plus package. With a VIN#5059 you had your car even before mine and the Perf+ was not out yet, so I was wondering waht the cost was to have them add the Perf+ package to your car.

That's my seq number from back when we cared about such things, not my vin. My vin is >10,000. It was in the first batch of P+ cars from the factory.

Ah, right. Brain-fart. Been so long (heh, 2 months), that I totally forgot about the sequence numbers. LOL.

Formula One Pinnacle - 30 on front sides, 15 on rear sides & back.

Llumar CTX 35 all around

Nice dechroming job. I especially like the matte nose cone. Vinyl wrap or Plastidip?

 

[UniqueAutoFilms]

Every single chrome piece was vinyl wrapped in matte black.

I don't even have my car yeat and I've already booked my window tinting. Probably going to go with Spectra Photosynch 55%, just want to see the tint in person to be sure.

I've decided to get the Photosync after seeing a demo in person comparing it to my old fave Huper. Big difference in feel. My dilemma is choosing the shade. Anyone with Photosync care to share a photo and what shade you picked? I'm thinking 55% or 65%. TIA

I had Prestige Spectra PhotoSync installed about a week ago. I went with the 65% because I was concerned about night visibility. The heat and IR rejection is not that different for the 55% and 65%. I can't tell I have it on at night. In the daytime, there is a gigantic difference in heat rejection. I'm now going to have my windshield tinted with 75%.

Here are some links that Prestige sent me to compare the 65% and 75%:

Here is my car with 65%, although it's hard to tell in that photo:
