TInt help!

[DLav8r]

I just had Ceramic 20% all around done yesterday. I will have my windshield tinted with Air 80 (nearly clear) next month at a different shop that carries that product. 20% on the rears is perfect (can hardly see anyone seated). The front with 20% is a bit lighter naturally, but once the windshield has film it will make it a bit darker. I had this setup on my previous vehicle and it was perfect. Hot summers down here in the South and the ceramic is amazing for heat reduction especially when the windshield is tinted.

Ceramic windshield tints at 65-70% aren't very noticeable, I'd guess your tint guys have theirs done and you can ask to see their windshield before getting it done.

Beware to anyone looking to tint their windshield especially with ceramic. The internal glare absolutely goes up when the sun (or bright headlights) hits the outside of the windshield with another layer on the inside. I noticed this with ceramic on my side windows and started reading and looking at the specifications of the tints. There is also the matter of internal reflection at night, a tinted windshield is going to cause more perceived reflection of lights in the cabin back to the driver.

I don't have that issue with XPEL Ceramic.

What percent did you end up getting?

 

[wantavant]

20% front windows, 15% on windshield strip.....turned out pretty much perfect if ya ask me.

I did nano ceramic 15% on the front and 35% on all the rear. It matched very well, IMO and wan't too dark at night.

Did you do your windshield at all?

I have same color and I like the upgrade to your fender emblem. Can you explain what you did or where you got them? Paint or wrap? Thanks!

I did not do the windshield. I was going to put clear 70% on it for heat reduction but never got around to it.

I purchased them from here. It was pretty easy to do, just pop out the fender, flip it over and remove the insert. Then you place the flag in its place (it has adhesive backing)

I plan on doing ceramic when my truck is delivered. My current truck has 35% front doors, 20% back doors and glass. It is not dark enough for me.

new truck is getting ceramic with 80% whole windshield, 20% front doors, 5% rear doors and back glass, just like our van.

Sounds nice and perfect! Tint will be next after the installation of the new tires from 4Wheelonline next week. We'll consider that setup!
