I just got mine done on my 2012 and I did dark matter ceramic tint comes with lifetime I love it .
I did 20%back and 40% front just amazed with the tint

 

Just got mine done today, not sure what film, but its 35% all around, except windshield just a strip on the top.



However I am a little concerned, I noticed that there appears to be bubbles in the back window, they said it will go away in a few days but I don't know...

 

love your f color, i'm gonna get 35% like your.

 

Thanks, when I went to the dealership I was wanting blue or black but when I saw that nebula gray I wanted it bad and was determined to leave the lot with it.

 

Farpetrad nicely done on your F. It seems the back and the front looks the same. It also seems lighter. I have 20% all around and it looks way darker. Maybe my eyes is playing tricks on me. Lol. As far as the bubble go, it will go away. You should be fine as long as no air in them.

 

Hmm, the paper says 35% so it better be, how would I go about checking it myself?

 

Except for factory tint, any tint on the front side windows in California is illegal. You might be able to get away with lighter tint on the front sides but it doesn't mean it's legal.

 

go to any tint shop and ask them to stick a light gauge on it.

 

Huper Optik ceramic is the best I've seen, but it's hard to install properly. Very few shops can do it right.

I've had it on my last 2 cars spanning 4 years, not a single problem... pricy but well worth it.

 

I'm planning to get the Formula 1 installed on Friday. Now I need to decide if I want to shell 2X the price for ceramic. Has anyone had any problems with regular (metallic-based) tint? Some posts in the 460 section referenced FM/AM reception problems.

Thx

 

Have it too..... Good stuff and the few times I have had the German Shepherd in the back, doesn't scratch the tint.

 

3M ceramic tint.......absolutely no issues with peeling or anything after 1.5 years. And no interference with GPS, etc.

Also see if you can go somewhere that offers lifetime warranty. The shop I did it at, in case something goes wrong, I can go to any authorized 3M tint installer and get it fixed for free, forever.

 

Very nice!








On metallic tint...
I have metallic tint and haven't had any problem with radio reception,XM ,NAV bluetooth etc.
Isn't the antenna on the roof?

 

Looks great! What a difference tint makes. Depending on the lighting conditions 35% can look more like 20%. 3M Crystalline has incredible heat rejection. There are some videos of it on YouTube. I'm thinking of getting it on my front windshield.

 

I got my 35% last Friday. Absolutely love it.

Ceramic Formula 1.

Apparently she had been tinted previously. Owner of the shop assumed that it was probably limo tint from the previous owner (I think it was a Florida car); so the dealer probably had it removed in order to make it easier to sell. An extra $40 and these guys did a great job of removing the old residue built up in the corners and around the brake light.

The white seats help it not look so dark for the cops here in VA. Especially with the sun roof open.
