Well, I'll see how it looks the next couple days. Aside from that, there is very minimal water bubbles. Probably, only 2-3 I could spot out. I mean this is only a $200 tint job =\

 

Hello everyone,

I can't seen to create a new thread with the issue I am having. But, this seems like the right thread to post under.

So, I recently got my car tinted with Suntek CXP 35% all around. When I was driving at night, I notice lots of glare/light reflections from the rear window when I'm looking that the rear view mirror. The headlights from car behind me looks very distorted.

Although I've only got my car tinted for about 2 days. Is this an issue that can be fixed? Is anyone having or had this issue with rear windshield tint?

 

Here you can see how visable it really is.


Im also located in CA, specifically NorCal/ BayArea, and went ahead and got 30% non-3M all around and personally think it's the best of both worlds, not to dark not to light. During day one can see through it on sunny days, gloomy days it becomes half way visible . At night becomes dark and hardly visible when standing up close.
Overall it's a nice clean tint to get.

And as for the Cops, I've came across many side by side and many didn't even bother to look over, I've had it for about a year now. Here's mines for comparison, can take some up close as well if needed.

 

for anybody who has 5% on the rear windows, how is visibility at night? i want to do a 5% sunstrip on the windshield and on all the rear windows, and then 20% on the front windows (no windshield besides the sunstrip)

 

I would like to see 70% or the lightest possible tint you can go.

Anyone know if our side windows are inherently 99+ percent UV rejecting? And rear? I know front automotive glass is inherently UV rejecting due to being laminated.

 

I have 5% on all my windows with the strip on the front. I can see fine at night. Now it is dark but it's not hard to see other traffic during lane switches. And when you're in the city, the street lights add to your visibility. I'd say do 5% on the front instead of 20, you won't regret it

 

believe me, id love to do 5% in front too, but i live in NJ and im not supposed to have tint in the front at all. really dark windows in the back and light in the front looks weird to me so i at least need 20%. my brothers gf's 335i has 5% all around, and i sat in it and its not bad at all. i enjoy the darker interior tbh

 

I recently had my tints done again, but this time I went with 35%. They are 3M Color Stable 35%. My old tints were 20% and they were too dark. Aside from being too dark, I was getting noticed by police because my front windshield is tinted as well. Overall, the car looked way too dark! The change was needed. What a difference! Can see better and it's all legal I actually like my car a lot more with the 35% than the 20%, but that's just my opinion. No offense to anyone with 20% (I have other vehicles with 20%). Since this is my daily driver to work and school, I wanted to keep it cool with the authorities! Will post more pictures once the tints heal! Thus, there aren't any close-up pictures!

 

Limo ceramic all the way around with the eyebrow and air80 on the front

 

It's a sunny day today and so I got to take some pictures of my recently installed tints! 3M Color Stable 35%

 

Looking good Lexi90,

I have the same 2015 Nebula Gray Pearl and was curious how dark to go as I didnt want to go too dark because it would contrast too much with the car and make it look funny. looks like 35% is a good balance!

 

How much would something like 3M Crystalline cost 5-window? Always liked the look but never bit the bullet on my past cars

 

I got quoted for the 3m crystalline all 5 windows for around $600. A little bit too steep for me

 

It depends on your location. It's 6-700 in the LA area

 

I got a quote for 475 on 3M Crstalline on all 5 windows on my '14 IS350.

180 for 3M Color Stable
375 for 3M Ceramic

I went with the 3M Color Stable. 35 in the front and 20 on rear/back.
