Wow! Looks great! Is the oem tint removed then re tinted or is the new tint placed over the existing tint?
There is no OEM tint, it's colored glass.

Nothing was removed.
20% film onto roof.
70% windshield.
30% on forward side windows.
Hatch and rear side windows are stock dark glass.
What kind of film did they use, and how much did it run you, if you don't mind me asking? I'm in LA and looking to have that exact same tint done.
Has anyone done it? What percentage?
Without tint is anyone finding the sun annoying?
I had my roof tinted with the ceramic xpel tint and I don’t notice any difference. What tint did you use?Living in Phx I felt I didn't have a choice. Having it tinted makes a big difference on hot days. Roof is still cool even though its a little darker now. My dog is a lot more comfortable as well.

I've done it on my last 8 cars and can guarantee it's not pointless - you'll feel the difference.I've been hearing people say that tinting the windshield is pointless. I've been wanting to do it though.
Good to know. I'm glad it makes a difference.I've done it on my last 8 cars and can guarantee it's not pointless - you'll feel the difference.
20% roof, 30% forward side windows, and 70% windshield.
Was too bright with just stock roof tint, better now with 20% film - less heat coming through also.
See pictures - compare sunlight through side and roof:

I did and love it.....and helps with the heat for sureSame questions... ADD: does tinting the roof take away from the "wow factor" when you get in the car?
totally agree the front rear tint match makes a big look differenceWorth doing, I did 70 windshield, 20 on front side windows and 20 on roof. Functional (I live in SW FL) and a better look as the roof and front sides more closely match the back sides and rear hatch.
Do both - you can remove the shade and still enjoy the view. I wouldn’t do the limo tint though, 35% for me.Good to know. I'm glad it makes a difference.
Now whether to tint the roof more or just get a roof sunshade...
I'm confused on the idea of the colored glass vs. tint.
Is there UV protection in the rear's colored glass? It seems the majority of users are saying they only tinted the front to "match" the back, but does the heat reduction match when you do this? If not, can you tint over the rear glass?
