Is this rubber seal or plastic trim get cut off ? It is not cool to damage the car :-(
Back window was tinted in one piece 35%. Doesn't look dark at all from the inside.
The rubber seal got cut. Checked it again this morning and found the back window's rubber seal got cut too.
When I saw your posts, I went to check out all the seals and trim around the windows. And luckily, there's no damage as far as I can tell. Have you talked to Alex yet about this? I hope he will cover the replacement cost.
Did you go to the San Jose or Los Gatos location?
I saw this black model 3 at San Jose location. Most likely the same guy will tint mine as well since they already have my car at San Jose shop. Maybe I should call Alex first thing on Monday morning and cancel my tint if it is not been done yet, Hopefully the ppf guy is not the same as tint guy......
I went to the San Jose location. I'll definitely message Alex and see what they'll do.
Yeah it's the same guy that does all the tinting at the San Jose location. Not sure if he does ppf as well. If I had to do it over again I'd probably go to their Los Gatos location.

My delivery date will be Sunday and I will drop off to Alex afterwards, could you let us know how does it go?
Hey guys, I was trying to read up on all of your comments within this thread. I plan on getting a silver metallic model 3, and was just wondering if I'm on a bit of a budget, but would like to keep my model 3 looking new for as long as possible and stop rock chipping, what kind of things should I have done to it? Definitely never done anything to a car before
Did you check the quality of tint work? (Bubbles, water in between, etc) I had the similar “hazy” effect when I first tinted my previous car with 3M color stable, and got used to it in no time. (Or it went away)
Was going to call Alex but not after seeing the pictures of cutting from @aaahughjass
Would be great to hear if Alex fixed it somehow.
For those who are getting 50% fronts, which tint is being used? Xpel Prime XR Plus isn't offered in 50%.

Do they paint on the car or take the calipers off and bleed the brakes? Are you happy with the result? Would you mind posting some pics.
I don't think he removed the calipers when he painted them. On one of the calipers, I can see a small spot where the paint is thinner than other areas. To be fair, that spot is on the inside of the calipers and it's hard to see. It took me a while to show that to Alex. But from the outside, it can't really see it. Again, with the price I am spending on this, I have no complain.
