Who's tinted their windows?

[Fusion]

I think they had to raise their prices due to other photosync dealers causing a stink about pricing. They were upset that their $1300-1800 price to do the same job started looking too expensive. They have been used to up selling to Model S and X driver who don't really care about money.

Front sides too? Already considering driving 400 miles to Extreme (tho not for their slightly cheaper price over Premier). For $700, I'd consider driving down to San Diego if I'm already in SoCal. Still, $700 seems too good to be true.

Yeah front sides of course.

It was a reddit group deal. They're raised their prices now that they got a ton of exposure.

I got 25% on the sides and rear. It looks amazing and still has good visibility at night. If anyone’s in eastern PA and looking for a good shop, let me know. Mine was done in a day and cost under $400 using Suntek film.

Just had my car done at great place in Seattle (Jay's). Lifetime warranty too. All side windows and rear. With full rear would have been $600, with partial rear (up to the factory tint) was $300 (did this, didn't feel I need full). Suntek 25% I believe. Looks super-awesome on red.

I’m sitting in the waiting room now while my car is getting 30% CTX on the back window and sides. I’m told they are no longer doing sunroofs as people are having issues with cracking from the added heat absorption. Also passing on windshield film. Will post pix of the work later.

Where are you getting the tinting done?

Signature Glass Tinting in Costa Mesa. Always used them and they’ve done hundreds of 3s at this point. I think they’re doing 6 today and 4 tomorrow.

Got mine done today.

35% all around XPEL Nano Ceramic. One piece back window and it looks amazing.

Can you did me who did the work and how much it was? looking for a detailer in the DFW area (preferably close to Fort worth)

I went with 3M Crystalline 60. Very happy with it, not too dark and great heat rejection.

Happen to have any pics of the Crystalline 60? I'm considering that for my car too. Also, can you tell it's tinted at all with the 60? Or is it not noticeable. I'm trying to find the right shade for a just slightly tinted look.

I got my 3 tinted with 3m Color Stable, for $500. 25% for rear windows and 50% for front two. Yes, I know its illegal in California. I had the car tinted in Concord, and I am pleased with the results. 3m Crystalline would have been $400 more dollars, and to me, there was only a slight difference in heat between the two when the salesmen demonstrated the tint.

It looks just barely tinted when it's sunny. In low light it of course looks much darker but in general people can easily still see me through the tint which is what i wanted.

How did they do with the transition to the roof? Does it look weird at all or were they able to make it look pretty seamless? I'm in Redmond too, and when my M3 comes I'd like to tint the sides and the back as well

Go with Photosync as it has been and still has the highest heat rejecting technology of all films. They have a Dealer Locator here:

I tried to post some but the forum software still seems to be eating pics.

How is the rear roof with the extra layer of tint? Thinking of doing the same percentage but worried that portion will be too dark.

 

[setheryb]

I have a question about tinting the back window...if the state law is 35% how does it work since the top of the rear window (which is essentially the back roof) would be much darker than 35% with the double tinting, wouldn't that make it an illegal tint on part of the rear glass?

I hope my question makes sense.

 

[GuyDude]

Definitely not too dark. I used DUB IR film.

It’s excellent! Visibility at night is perfect. No issues
