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

This is a really good question I needed answered also. I always wear my Maui Jim. In fact I have several pairs and leave one in the car all the time. I also plan to tint the front windshield with 3M Crystalline too.

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

Are they still accepting new cars? My buddy just got his and wants to get his tint done too.

It's $950 now

 

[Davidimdpt]

Also, I've been hesitant to get the front windshield tinted due to the known problems with liquids being into sensitive electronics in the dash of the 3. Anybody have any problems with this at Rodz?

I’ll pass at that price.

Thanks for the heads up

You're welcome. To be fair, of all the places I contacted, Rodz still had the best price for full 3m crystalline tinting.

Found a place in Temecula doing it for $750 including windshield. Got an apt on Monday and we’ll see how it goes.

What's the name of the shop in Temecula? I'm still shopping around for window tint.

Good price!

Ask how many model 3s they’ve done. Make sure they know about the possibility of water getting into electronics and take appropriate precautions (lots of towels in the front and over the screen). Do they do the rear in one piece? If their answers don’t satisfy you, maybe you should reconsider. Like Davidimdpt said, $950 is not bad for 3M all windows. Good luck!

I wear polarized glasses and got the 3M Crystalline done at Rodz (70% on the front). It does have an effect, but it isn't bad. Basically dark colored cars (mostly black, some dark blue) appear a slight purple-ish tint instead of black at some angles as you approach them. It was a little weird at first but I don't even notice it anymore after 6 weeks.

I asked about the water when they did my tint. They are very aware of the concern and potential problem and put a lot of absorbing towels/etc in and around the electronics to protect them. It has been 6 weeks since I got my tint done (including 70% on front windshield) and I've had no issues.

So are they doing chrome delete again? If so, has anyone gotten it done there recently? How'd it go?

Still waiting for it to be finished. I dropped it off at 12. They did say they still do chrome delete but they only do it on Wednesday. I forgot to ask the price. I'll ask when I pick it up. At this rate maybe tomorrow.

 

[Davidimdpt]

Ok. Price is $475 for chrome delete. Everything turned out great!

Anyone have photos and/or a review of Rodz recent chrome delete work?

Soooo I had the chrome delete done in August and there were many issues, I posted pictures here previously. Apparently Jesse, the owner, was doing the chrome deletes then (did not know this at the time, when i complained). Without going into too many details, they said they would fix it and i went back in September and they had hired outside help, he fixed all of the chrome delete issues. So if they are still having this outside help come in, i say go for it.

Thanks - apparently they're only doing chrome deletes on Wednesdays now. I'd love to see the improved work though. I got a quote from another guy who only does chrome deletes/vinyl, and will do it on-site. Well reviewed, but $745 (vs. $475 at Rodz).
