which shade of window tint?

[XLR82XS]

I just got 35% on the sides and nothing on the back window. My tint guy measured and the roof glass is already limo tint reading 0% with the machine. What state allows 33% on the windshield? That seems like a dumb idea to me.

Why are people not tinting the rear windows. Front & rear glass are the most important due to their angles. Wincos, Huper Optik and others offer a virtually clear film for use on windshields.

20% all around except front windshield 50%

Suntek CIR Ceramic: 30% all-around & 80% windshield. In sunny Cali, the cabin temperature is like night and day after tinting my windows.

I have 20% on the four windows and love it.

I like the look of the rear window and how it gradually goes from tinted to not tinted. It's also $800 bucks alone to tint the rear window with photosynth here and that is just too ridiculous for me to pay.

I am looking to tint the windows and roof of my MSM P3D. I am trying to decide how dark to go and would love to see some pictures of other peoples Model 3s with tinted windows. I am sitting on the fence between 20%, 25% and 35%.

Remember, darkness does not equate to coolness as in temperature, if coolness as in terms of looks, well that's another story, but let me tell you, it gets hot due to all of the glass, sun screens work pretty good for the roofs two pieces and amazon has a pretty good set,Tesla $$$$ , , front windshield is massive.

20% XPEL tint on front, back and rear. Looks and feels much better with tint!

 

[Kilotango74]

45% all the way around including roof panel and windshield

What kind of tint?

Does anyone have any inside pictures with 20 percent on the back? Most interested in a picture that shows the shade difference between the front with no tint and the rear with 20.

$800 for rear only?! Jesus! I paid $600 for the entire car with Huper Optik film.

Here are a few pictures of my Model 3. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was shinning brightly on the right (passenger) side of the car. So I took pictures of both sides. No tint on the windshield or the "sunroof". Llumar Formula One Pinnacle 25% rear doors and all rear windows. Back window with one piece of tint. Llumar Formula One Pinnacle 40% for the front two windows.

I am looking at the Stratos Series Premium tint which is ceramic. Thinking of going with 25% all the way around including the full back window (not the windshield). I am thinking of tinting the sunroof window as well so it will match the rear window sunroof.

I would like to see the inside looking up to see the shade difference between the rear window and the front roof glass.

I have no tint on the front and 20% on the rear glass. I'll try to get a picture from the interior up today for you @ChargedSociety.

For completion's sake, I got:

20% Rear windscreen/ Rear door windows / Rear pocket windows
35% Front door windows
No film on front moonroof or windscreen.

That would be amazing, that's exactly what I'm thinking of doing.

Better late than never; here you go, exterior and interior shots. It just occurred to me that I got the exteriors when the car was half in the shade, so I can try for some better ones over the weekend.

I did 30% on the passenger sides, and 70% (legal limit here) on the driver sides with Spectra Photosync IRD. I did it for the heat rejection, and it helps a ton. Even with temps in the high 90's my AC fan is very cool with the fan set at 1, before it had to be at 5 to be comfortable. It would have been $600 more for the rear, and $400 for windshield which is not legal here anyway, though everyone does it. I'm very happy with it, though depending on the lighting, sometimes you can hardly tell there is tint. It has the tint in both pics.

20% sides and rear. Nothing on front windshield or sunroof.
