35% sides and rear. The shop talked me out of doing ceramic since I live in MN. I wish I would have done the ceramic - it's still hot in MN in the summer!

What was the reason for your installer not recommending ceramic to you? Was he trying to save you a few bucks?

Basically, yes. They just said since it's not my daily driver it was a waste of money. It seemed like they didn't like working with it but I can't say for sure. On the hot summer days I wish I had it. Not the end of the world - just want other people to go for the ceramic!

On my Model 3 I started with Xpel Ceramic. My wife totaled it and on my replacement Model 3 I went with the best of the best Spectra Photosync. The difference wasn’t worth the $400 price. Is it better? Yes but it’s marginal in the Texas sun.

• 15% all around omitting the windshield
• It's dark as fuck at night in the country. 10/10 roll em down when you're in deer country
• Looks like a mirror and takes in the compliments.

I am told by my BIL who lived in Florida, there are front windshield tint available, clear color type.

I was getting my front windows tinted Saturday and saw a sample of this. Looked interesting.
Here in Texas we can't tint our windshields.
But the clear wouldn't be an issue.

Here's my 2020 I just got from Detroit sight unseen.
Shipped it to Texas and when I went to get it inspected, they laughed at me. According to their meter I had 2% all around and something on the windshield!
I had to take my daughter's hair drier to it and luckily it all came off in one piece and no residue behind.
The 4th pic is retinted at 30% and the back and little windows are still 2% because it doesn't matter here. Still can't see shit out the back during the day, but too much hassle to remove it.
The last two pics are the 2% from the side window and the pic in my kitchen is what was on the windshield, I'd guess about 30%. Looks similar to what I just had installed.
I'm guessing some states are more lenient than Texas?

I think 20% is the perfect answer when you combine. Day/Night visibility and Safety.

Just found this link...

This site is incorrect when it says the windshield cannot be tinted in any state. I know atleast in New York you can tint it as long as it doesn't block more then 30% of the light. I have Xpel prime xr plus, 50% on the back window and 80% on the rest. Not a fan of dark tint, at least on my car. Its really amazing how much heat these tints block now regardless of the shade. The only problem is the auto dimming lights must use an IR sensor as they dim with the slightest shadow.

15% 3M ceramic on the sides and back, 70% 3M crystalline on the windshield (replaced it once already...it's thick and hard to work with - but so worth it in the so cal sun) - any % tint on the driver/passenger windows or windshield is illegal in california...oh well
