Model S - Window Tinting

[Cnasty]

I'll post pics of my obsidian with 35% Photosync all around this Saturday. It's really nice, the darkness being just right IMO, not to mention legal in Illinois. Didn't touch the windshield or pano.

Yes please!

Thanks so much as I am going to get a quote tomorrow.

Also going to quote a chrome delete.

Photosync 35% all around (no windshield or pano) by Auto Image in Barrington, IL. I'll grab some pictures in direct sunlight in a bit.

I love you so much right now. I have the same exact car considering the same exact tint and was contemplating a darker tint not photo sync, but yours looks fantastic and I will go forward with mine as well.

Thank you for posting this!!!

I am still considering blacking out the window trim but with the tint alone it completely changes the car and may stick with it.

If you love me now, you're gonna "throw me the ring" when I come with the sunshine pix!

Perfect timing on your pics! I am picking up my Obsidian Black w black interior on Tuesday and considering photo synch 35 or 45. Yours turned out very nicely.

Thanks! I think so too. Really happy as the 35 is just right in terms of darkness for my taste and keeps the po-po from shuttin' me down.

Finally got some tint and love the look of the dark tint with the solid black and came out fantastic.

Picked up Tesla on Tuesday. After reviewing a lot of the posts on this thread, I went with Photosynch and had Extreme Autowerks in Cerritos install. They did a great job. No signs of bubbles or streaks. Bing is the owner - cool guy (no, he didn't request that I put in a good word for them).

I'm noticing that discussing window tint is like debating politics or religion and it's ultimately a personal choice. I'm happy with Photosynch so far.

I can pretty much guarantee you that won't be getting Photosync or any ceramic tint, at which point, you are mostly just getting light-blocking and not much heat rejection. Your money would be better spent getting even a "cheap" ceramic tint vs. a standard.

That is correct. All window films at this price uses cheap dyes that will bubble and fade in a short amount of time. Prestige Film Technologies, the manufacturer of Spectra PhotoSync also makes a pure ceramic film called CeraLuxe Quantum Ceramic, which is about 20%-25% less than PhotoSync, but still outperforms 3m and Huper. For those on a tighter budget, we would recommend this product as it has the 2nd highest heat rejecting specs.

Extreme Autowerks has been a Photosync Dealer for many years, so if you are in the area Cerritos area, do contact him. A bit south of them is Adonis Detail in Vista, CA that is both a Ceraluxe and PhotoSync Dealer. All quality installers.

After about 3 weeks of reading thru a lot of the online posts and doing my own research (yes visiting different tint shops), I'm planning on putting Huper Optik Ceramic 30 on my windows & c70 on my windshield & pano. I would have gone with photosync, but (for me) it just doesn't justify double the cost for roughly 8-10 percent more TSER (63 vs 73). Huper Optik has been out for over 12+ years and is used in both commercial, residential and auto applications. They provide lifetime warranty on tint and labor. If you are in the DFW area, I can let you know after I have it installed on my model S P85+.

I had Huper installed at Pro Tint in Plano. Great price. If you go back up thread you'll see that I did have bubbles for about 4 weeks after the install, which was in the dead of summer. It looks perfect now, but I was worried about it for a while.

I have Huper on my BMW and on those summer days, I feel a difference with my Model Ss and X with Photosynch. For me the price difference of 30% between the 2 is definitely worth it.

The quality tint place I use charges $80+ to remove old tint. That should be telling of what you purchased.

Edit to stay on topic - I am planning to get 3M Crystalline. It's a noticeable difference in the AZ heat even though it's only 40% around.

I got my windows tinted last week and at night time lights from cars behind me get reflected by each defroster wire on the rear window and so I get vertical 'stripes' of lights from each car. Did any one notice the same thing?

This is normal.
