Looks good, but you forgot to mention what percentage film he used to make it match, lol

Yes, a 20% ceramic tint would match the other windows. Ceramic tints are known for their unmatched heat and glare protection, as well as improved privacy from outside observers. It is also highly durable and can last up to 10 years with proper care. Please note that the exact shade may vary depending on the manufacturer of your window tints. We recommend contacting the manufacturer to ensure a uniform look across your windows.

Our Ceramic 20% will match them up perfectly! It'll also come with a lifetime warranty and ticket protection program.

How have folks felt visibility is with the darker tints? My S has Llumar CTX 55% around and 80% windshield. I can see out of it great.
Our 3 has Xpel 45% around and 80% windshield. At night with the auto dimming mirrors it becomes too dark. I end up just seeing the lights and can’t make out the car anymore nor the lines of the road (in the mirror).
I was thinking of splitting the difference and getting 50% up front and 80% everywhere else. I have white seats, so I know from outside it looks bright, but I’m fine with that.

A couple of items id like to ask for the "forum experts" to chime in.
1. Is it worth to pay extra for the "Double" Ceramic? Or is that a gimmick? Only about 100 additional for side front windows and windshield. The local shop said the double ceramic has better visibility and less glare at the same percent (I am matching the rear windows up front 20%). They also said I can put a double ceramic on my windshield to reduce UV damage but not tint it visibly (Which I don't want.. tint on windshield).
2. Front protection: the Pros seem infinite(No chips mainly) ......but no Cons were mentioned by the local shop. $2700 for Front bumper, hood, front side panels and side mirrors seems like a negative but other than price any reason to not add the clear protective film? Will it make my Red Model Y look weird after some time or it stays invisible years later? I just dont want to notice that "protection" in a year or two because of fade or have it damage the paint if I ever decide to remove it. I hope the local shop is right but would be nice to hear a second oppinion.
Thanks

1. I've never heard of "double" ceramic. What do they mean? What brand of film are they using?
2. What brand of PPF are they using?

The place I plan to use in Michigan indicated they use: XPEL That hopefully means something to someone here
They said "Double Ceramic Tint" is thicker but results in less glare and better see-through?

XPEL is good. When XPEL is installed well with wrapped edges, you won't see any downside really on a red car. I'm sure others can contribute more.The place I plan to use in Michigan indicated they use: XPEL That hopefully means something to someone here

Yes, I did 70% windshield, rear doors and rear hatch and 20% front doors. I had 30% front doors but with white car and white interior and the bright screen, it was still like a spotlight on the front passengers at night so went to 20% front sides.
