Refresh Model S Tint / PPF / Ceramic Photos & Info

[Derrickd5]

80% XPEL with white interior...have not noticed any reflections.

55% front xpel prime xr+ and no reflections

Anyone have a general idea of how much a full wrap costs for the S?

I'm trying to weigh whether it's worth paying $2,500 for the red and then another $4,000 for front PPF + ceramic versus just getting a red wrap.

I did full wrap including jams on mine plus tint, 6k

I just took delivery of my new Black S LR and drove straight to the PPF shop.
High priced mission to get a specific look.
Even though its already black, Im putting colored PPF on top of it:

STEK DYNOblack-matte everywhere w/
And Gloss Black PPF for: Tesla badges, side view mirrors, rear bottom diffuser
Windshield PPF
Tint - 20% tint all around; 55 windshield
Ceramic Pro on all


The stealth blacks I've seen are to light for my taste. This is the achieved look (on a taycan)...View attachment 769573

Got pics of how yours turned out? Want to do the same on mine. Thanks!

Hi,
I purchased a white model c a few months ago. Do you think it is worth it to wrap it? I did add window tint and so glad that I did.

PPF is better than wrap. Every day you delay makes it more expensive.

Got my Plaid back today, wrapped and tinted. 35% ceramic tint, but not dark enough so probably have it redone 15-20%. Not great pics but at least it’s back to start driving. Cant wait for track-mode and upgraded brakes

This is the first Refreshed S that I've felt jealous of .... NICE

I've spent way too much time after work today perusing through this entire thread for a picture of a stealth/matte PPF S, as I was debating between XPEL stealth and ultimate (glossy). I'm debating no more...XPEL Stealth it is. Thank you for sharing this picture, your S looks f'ing amazing.

I'd love to see pictures of others who have done a Black Plaid S in Stealth PPF as well!

Got the same thing on mine
BTW—the Stek film has a built in hydrophobic coating that works really well so a ceramic coating isn’t needed

This is almost the same look I'm going for on my Model S, except I'm going to stick with the stock 19" rims. Great pic and thanks for sharing it!

Will throw my S out there for fun: 2022 Model S Long Range, White/White, 21”, All windows (except windsheild) Xpel Prime XR Ceramic @ 35%, Full Front Xpel PPF (bumper, hood, lights, mirror caps, front fenders, rear wheel/door fenders) and then all topped off with Xpel Ceramic Coating. I like the first (undoctored) pic as I find the factory 21” wheels are hard to photograph (they always seem to show up as overly black) and this one shows the wheels more as I perceive them in person. The second pic show the tint a little better (its not as dark as the first pic shows) but also shows the way the stock 21’s seem to always photograph overly dark:

Wow, that looks killer! What tint % you got on the sides and windshield? Expecting my black on cream Model S this month.

Strongly considering going with a lighter shade of tint, I usually always go 15% but I am starting to like it a bit lighter these days.

This is XPEL XR+ 15%

I went with 30. Looks classy compared to super dark tint. JMO

Totally agree.

Had my tint redone today at 20%. XPEL XR Plus.

Much happier.
