Model Y tint using XPEL. Recommendations?

[Johnstac]

Picked up my Y a couple of days ago. I went to a Llummar tint shop but they told me straight out that they could not match the existing rear windows exactly. I have heard soooo much about XPEL that I started looking for a shop that does it in my area. Unfortunately the closest place is about 45 min which is fine. I’m just wanting to know which material I should be asking them about. I think the back and top windows are 25. So I’m looking for front windows to match. Then I plan on doing the windshield in 50. Anyone have any specifics on what XPEL product they use to match the factory tint on the Y?

This is how I got my XR Prime Plus done for it to match.

Sunroof and all rear glass done in 70%.
Windshield in 50%.
Front side windows in 20%.

I wanted the front sides in 35% but it was a far from match so went with the 20%.

overall opinion? I think it is still too light as there is so much glass on this car the tint looks very light.
I have this on my other cars and it looks way darker.

if I were to do it all again I would do 15% on the front Windows and 35% on the windshield but that combo may not match the stock tint in the rear.

aside from all that I wish I did the roof glass in 50% as 70% isn’t noticeable but my goal was to reject heat so the goal has been met

I have XR Prime Plus 35% on my front two windows, nothing else added to other windows.

My observations on the tint itself is that it's a good match, color wise.

Percentage wise, 35% is lighter, but TBH even if you went 20% or 5% there will be times when the light comes through the windshield just right and you are walking around your car and it still won't match.

Overall I am happy with my decision. I can't do 20% because I drive downtown often at night and can't easily see when people are crossing the street. Most of the time when I glance at the car from the outside it matches up well enough to move on and focus on more important things in life... like panel gaps LOL

nearly the same here.

I did 70% all rear windows and windshield, fronts 20% of XR Prime Plus and they match.

Hope there isn't much of a difference between XR Prime and XR Prime Plus. Today they installed the XR Prime on all windows for $650. I was a bit confused because all I remembered was that I needed, "nano ceramic" which they stated it was. Anyway, the most important thing to me was that the back matched the front. They went with 70% everywhere except for the front windows where they used 15. Haven't been able to test it at night yet Hoping it's not too dark as some of you have mentioned.
