Tinting 2016 MS!

[anxman]

AutoImage has done two of my cars (and a replacement for a smashed side window). They're great.

If you're willing to go on short notice, you can squeeze in earlier.

I did SPsynch and 3m crystalline on windshield. $975 in Phoenix: cactus tint. Great place.

Jason where in Houston did you get a quote for $800?

I got sides and rear done 20% for $200 cash here in the bay area. He did my X5 5 years ago, and no issues up until now.

Can someone post a photo of a facelift flat black Model S with a dark tint? Trying to gauge how it will look.

Thanks for tagging us Premier!

Jason, did you get that quote from us?

$1,500 is high in my opinion.

I paid $1,500 for formula one pinnacle ceramic tint on all windows + windshield and suntek paint protection film on the whole front of the car (full hood, quarter panels, bumper, rear luggage area and door handles).

The tint alone would have been around $400- $500 I think. A supposedly higher quality film should not be $1,000 more...

I recently inquired a local business to tiny my brand new 2016 MS that should be here late may. Here is the quote that gave me... 1500 plus tax? is that a good deal or no?

Prestige Spectra PhotoSync Tint

Here's your quote:
- sides and rear $750+tax
- windshield $395+tax
- panoramic roof $350+tax

I'm getting my 4 door windows done for $120 total on Monday here: Google Maps

$1,500 for a full front end clear bra is incredibly cheap on its own. I can't believe that only $1,500 will get you clear bra and tint on all of your windows, regardless of brand or quality of install.

I feel like Tesla owners, like myself, bought their car for its high-tech factor. Personally, I believe that everything aftermarket I put on the car has to have that same high-tech feel, otherwise I deem it sub par. Maybe others have a different opinion...

That almost sounds too good to be true! I'm in Fresno, would you mind providing details (tint type, %) and/or posting photos?

Does anyone know if the tinting shop has to dismantle the doors to be able to install the tint film? Thx

wow...couple of initial thoughts...first, thats about 1000.00 more than it should be. Second, its illegal in California to tint your front windshield unless you are talking about the top band which already has a line it tint in the mfg.

nope, they don't.

 

[rolson1011]

good deal or no?

No!

Mine ran $350 for all windows except front windshield 35% Suntek Carbon XP. But then I was also piggybacking on a paint protection package, so the labor was pretty much wrapped into one job since they could do the other while waiting for one to dry.

Also, the pano roof is already factory sunproofed.

@sorka how did your tint turn out?

I've been going to the same place for 15 years and they do great work. I thought it was cheap too. But I came out great. They used the Llumar PPF which is the same as Suntek from what I was told.

If anyone is in SE Florida send me a message and I will give you details.

Had to reschedule do to higher priority stuff coming up. But don't worry, as soon as I do it I'll post. In the meantime I was warned about making sure they use a tint that won't shatter if the window breaks. My primary purpose is not to tint but rather to provide safety.

3M 20% all the way around (didn't touch the front windshield; no sunroof)...$200. Used a reputable Car Tunes shop that I've been going to for years on other vehicles. I didn't need the Bentley version of window tints.
