Southern California (Orange County) Tesla Model 3 Tint/PPF Group Buy

Hey, I saw your car here. I was planning 40 all around and 70 for roof and shield but after seeing your car I go with the setup you have.

I think I’m going 40 on sides and roof above driver and 70 on windshield and rear window

HA HA HA HA HA Darn! You see it before I did! Ha ha ha. The only difference is 20% on the back side window from your original plan.

i'm curious, why only 70 on the rear windshield and 40 on the sunroof?

I will take a guess here. You want 40 on roof for blocking more heat to hitting your head and 70 rear shield for the clarity driving at night.

Exactly this. I have 40 on my Audi and it’s just a tad too dark for my liking at night when looking through rear view mirror.

Thanks!

I picked up my car today. Had this exact same setup. From inside, i cant tell the difference between 20 and 40 in visibilty but can tell the difference in heat rejection.

Jesse has a spare model 3 windshield and rear window in his shop which he uses to precisely cut the tint. Highly recommend his work and for the price, cant be beat. For reference, i did my x at signature. Their work is also excellent but price is much higher.

Congrats! Thanks for the pics! Would you mind taking another straight side shot to see the degree of contrast between front and rear sides?

(Car looks great!!)

Probably, going with this setup as well...still debating 20% on the back rear. Did Jesse talk you out of doing 20% on the back rear?

I mentioned something about the 20% film might be hazy looking through so does not recommend it for anywhere where you might be looking through often. He suggested it might be OK for the rear passenger windows since the driver doesn't often look through those 2 windows. So that's what I did. I took pictures of looking through both the 40% and the 20% from inside. Doesn't look hazy to me.

Pics look good, thanks for uploading.

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Will likely do this too!

So what’s the consensus on using Rodz for PPF?
Yes, no, or maybe if...?

 

[Davidimdpt]

I have an appointment with Rodz for next Friday. I guess i'll be getting the same setup. lol

70% tint on windshield
70% tint on moonroof
40% tint on front side windows
20% tint on rear side windows
40% tint on back rear window

Talked to Jesse yesterday and it looks like they will be starting to offer whole car ceramic coating as well.

He also mentioned putting up a deal for the group that doesn't expire. If you are still interested in, call and ask.

I had both tint and PPF. Tint job is phenomenal. I had a few minor issues with the PPF that needed a 2nd visit to correct, but Jesse was happy to arrange for me to come in to get the issue fix. And it was fixed in 20 minutes. So now the full frontal PPF is pretty good.

I also had him put the 2nd layer of PPF that is sized about the same size as the front bumper. He did that with the scrap left over film and no additional cost. This is so if I do decide to put my front bumper on, I can remove the front bumper by simply removing the 2nd layer of PPF film. And if you decided not to put the front license plate on at all, you can always take off that 2nd layer of PPF film.

Pretty much like this:

Model 3 Under Front License Plate Protection (Only $19 w/ 20%)

If you wore polarized sunglasses, would a 70 tint cause any issues on the front windshield for 3M Crystalline?
