Here’s mine.

35% sides, 20% rear window Xpel XR

I also highly recommend Sunshield in Sherman Oaks. I called on Thursday and booked an appointment for today (Saturday), dropped it off at 8am and it was ready by 11am. Very happy with how it came out. I went with 20% on the sides and 15% on the rear window.

How much?

How much?

600 for Xpel XR (ceramic)
450 for basic Xpel
Tax included in prices.

Just had a great experience at Sunshield in Sherman Oaks. They installed Xpel Prime XR Plus 55% on all my windows except for the windshield. I watched them install the rear window tint in one piece. It was a work of art to see the guy lay down on his back. It reminded me of Michaelangelo working on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. They are very professional and I am super happy with the results. I give them my highest of recommendations.

Do you happen to have pictures of the 55%? That's what I'm looking to get too and was curious how it looks.

second the G5 (alhambra) recommendation, ive gotten 4 cars tinted from them and every time it was a great experience.

This is the only recent pic I have. Sorry if it is not the best lighting to show the tint.

Also, here is a video from a YouTuber I respect. He acknowledges his video was sponsored by Xpel, but it still gives good info. More specifically he talks about why he chose 55% for his Mustang and it shows his Mustang with the 55% tint installed:

Thanks, appreciate it that helps. I have white interior and just want a very light tint.

Still happy with Sunshield's work?

Do they tint Xpel XR only? Not sure if they tint Xpel XR Plus

 

[joebruin77]

I am pretty sure the offer different Xpel tints and not just the top of the line XR Plus. But you would have to contact them directly to find out for sure.

Do you have more pictures of your tinted car? It looks nice with 55% all over.

Thanks. Here are the pics you requested. I did not have any tint applied to the windshield. In the second pic below, you can see the contrast between the untinted windshield and the tinted front side window pretty clearly.

That deserves an 8-clap!

I paid $700 out the door. They did not do the windshield nor the piece of glass directly above the driver's head. They tinted all of the side windows and the entire rear window for that price. They said that Tesla advised them not to tint the glass above the drivers head because the tint could make it crack.

A fellow, Bruin! Thanks for this. I called my tint guy, who has done about 4 of my cars in the past said it will be 850 for the XPEL+ Ceramic. I thought that was a bit high but they’ve always done amazing work, so I believed their figure. I called here and they said 550 for the the regular XPEL and 650 for true +. I’m kinda tempted to call my old guy and ask if they can match it.

monkey wrench ..

any o' you mugs think about doing a DARK strip on the "visor" area of the front windscreen? i already have the front clear ceramic tinted but was thinking about doing that top visor part. looking for some thoughts/random observations on how you think that looks considering the front camera housing and such...

Whoever does it, just make sure they are an authorized Xpel installer so that you get the warranty.
