The reason the quote was so high is because of your desire to cover the windshield and roof which is not advisable. First of all it's illegal in Texas to cover the windshield so you should not do that. The roof is already tinted down to a 15 level and has IR rejection properties too it does not make sense to tint the pano roof.I've been looking for a good window tinting situation for my nifty new car. Here's what I have decided upon:
Photosync (called Solar Adaptive Transition Film on the quote)
75% on windshield and sun roof.
35% on side and rear
Installed by EVS Motors on Bellaire Blvd.
I like Photosynch for its heat rejection qualities. The way I see it, Less Heat = Less AC = More Range. Also, I'd enjoy arriving at my distant Texas destinations without a sunburn.
I like EVS Motors because they're the only guys in town who install Photosync. Also, I visited their shop. They were very friendly and professional. The shop was clean and fully enclosed. Vehicles present were Hummer, Porsche, BMW, and Lexus. They claim to have done Teslas and were aware of the unique curvature of the windshield.
Warranty is lifetime against material defects, bubbling, purpling and cracking.
Quoted cost is $1,349 which seems kinda high. However, like my car, I'm far more concerned about quality than price.
So, am I making a mistake or should I dive in?
Otherwise I agree that EVS does a good job and Photosync does a great job at heat rejection. I had Photosync 45 on my side windows and 35 on rear hatch in July and it has been very nice.
