My local tint shops only offer suntek cir and panaflex carbon ceramic as top tier tints. Anyone know if either are ok or better? I might have to shop for something farther way.

Do you guys with the rear hatch window tinted notice halos on the defroster wires when car lights hit it at night. My other car’s tinted rear gets that at night and it’s annoying... I’m just worried that the smaller view will be further diminished from the back.
Have you thought of tinting your headlights? I’m still debating for mine but looking at your pics from the side it might just put it over the top. Matching a complete blacked out contrast to the metallic paint.

Thanks for sharing. The percentage tint you selected would be helpful.
Beautiful, I have the same config and also in Ontario. Where’d you get it tinted? Did you get it done recently? Any issues with the dimming side mirrors or cold weather for curing? Plan to get 30% too
I find it interesting that, while the White MY is most prevalent, it is a rarity in this thread. One would imagine window tinting would contrast most dramatically against a white body.
Also, as a Tesla owner living in NYS, i have found that our state police will frequently stop cars with window tint, and claim that "any tint beyond factory is illegal." I've always wondered if the tint provides a premise for getting one's car stopped and searched in NYS. Additionally, several months ago, our local Pep Boys refused to give our MDX a NYS Inspection Sticker due to it's window tint. Another local repair shop passed it without hesitation.

I use a local place here in Milwaukee called Blackout. They are fantastic. Cost $109 USD plus tax. No issues thus far. Has a lifetime guarantee.

I believe that my XPEL tint was 20%, but I could be wrong. I recall trying to decide between 20 and 35%, and the installer recommended one to most closely match the rear side windows.

What are you looking for at night? Headlights are plenty bright and if a driver is driving without them, you got the video footage on your side.
I am looking for pedestrian’s, kids on bikes, cars making unexpected turns, road debris, joggers, dogs, cats ect...
I am also surprised that some are able to get their front windshields tinted since that’s illegal in virtually every state other than the top 5 or 6 inches. There is a reason it’s illegal.

To each their own, but I have to ask - are there a lot of night time joggers and stray dogs and cats on the road where you live? The pedestrian fatalities in Las Vegas are due, in large part, to those individuals not being in a marked crosswalk. I do not have any kids but I cannot imagine I would want a kid 1) riding their bike at night; and, 2) riding their bike at night and on a road.
