Jay’s Tint Shop in Kirkland. They do a ton of Teslas. There were 5 or 6 in the lot when I had mine done.What shop did you use? I’m headed to The dark side next week. Black with white interior…debating 20 or 25 for fronts.

Did you end up getting the windshield tinted? If yes, what did you get and what was the cost? Did you like the service? Thanks.Ok cool, thanks for the recommendation. Any particular reason why, or just for looks?
No, I keep pushing it back because it's not a necessity. One of these days!Did you end up getting the windshield tinted? If yes, what did you get and what was the cost? Did you like the service? Thanks.
Been looking to get my front windows tinted to match the factory back window tint. I rarely if ever have passengers in the back, do not care about UV protection for them and I've never had it before for myself, so only looking to do it for cosmetic reasons.
I'm in San Diego, CA and am set on Monumental Workx. They came recommended from this forum and reddit and heard nothing but great things about their service.
They told me the factory stock tint on the back windows is about 22.5% so they would use 25% on the front and it would be $150. Lummar FormulaOne Pinnacle.
Does this sound accurate and is the price right? This is for 2 windows.
+1. Spectra Photosync is the best film on the market. I've had it on two vehicles (including my last Model Y) and it's a phenomenal film. I have XPEL Prime Plus on my current Model Y and it's been good but it's not Photosync and you can tell the difference. For what it's worth, I would not get the XPEL film again.Dollar for dollar, in my opinion XPEL XR+ is the best.
Spectra has a bit higher TSER on paper, but vendors are few and far between. Also these dealers know they aren't readily available and tax the heck out of anyone asking for their film.
XPEL is quite easy to locate, an american company with a solid lifetime warranty that follows the car. Redeemable at any XPEL dealer nationwide.
I paid ALOT less than what others paid for Spectra (750 for all windows + windshield, no sunroof).
I couldn't be happier. Car is cool as hell on a hot day.
I also didn't like that Spectra was lighter and offered less privacy than the comparable XPEL shade. (though this may be a pro to some)

I feel the opposite way. Didn't think the possible difference was worth the premium over Crystalline and wouldn't do the Photosync again. I need to do a proper instrumented test as I dont think it's anywhere close to 80% TSER and I have another car with Crystalline.+1. Spectra Photosync is the best film on the market.

Interesting. I've had Crystalline on a prior vehicle as well and it performed as good if not a little better than the top of the line XPEL film. Of course this is my non-scientific experience and I have not performed an instrumented test. I would love to see the results of your testing.I feel the opposite way.

Thanks for the positive review of XR+. I'm shopping for quotes in HI right now for XR+35 and XR Blue 80 on the windshield.Dollar for dollar, in my opinion XPEL XR+ is the best.

What % did you go with?
My local Xpel shop, Xpel Boise, tinted the front two windows to match the rears. It ran $180 for their top of the line Xpel Pro+ ceramic. Not sure what % they used, just told them "match the rears". Their tint guy used a tint meter and did a great job matching it up.
