Is there a thread with more photos of your car or even better — a video walk around??? I have the same color combo on order BG with full Fiona red interior and black 826M wheels w red calipers and tons of carbon. I can't wait! I would love to see more of your car as I wait since there really aren't a lot of BG with FULL Fiona yet. Thank you!! |

The top of the line ceramic tends to be Formula One if you have an installer near you- I have done F1 Pinnacle on my last BMWs and they were amazing. I never did the windshield though. I've gone to Art of Tint in NYC in the past- he does a lot of high end cars and his price is super reasonable. Xpel XR Plus Black is supposed to be comparable to the top ceramic F1 films. I also have heard good things about 3M ceramic, but it's hard to find installers locally. |

I had Xpel Prime XR Plus on my Macan for about a day, and hated it. Was a strong blue tone from the inside, and the hazing when sunlight was at certain angles was noticeable.

XR Plus is good. Its more of a dark blue than a a black, or its black or has a blue tint to it. They claim there is so much ceramic in it, it has a blue hue to it. I went with Stratos on my most recent car, and Stratos 70% on the windshield. I'll still probably do stratos on my M4.

I chose not to tint. Same color as OP except black interior.
IMO, counter to its purpose, tints attract the wrong kind of attention, from LEO or other parties... It's not like I'm famous. People look at the car, look at me, see an average non-descript guy and lose interest pretty quickly. It's great. Not sure that same can be said about tints. I do agree they look better though, but again I'm just trying to keep it low-profile as possible. Edit: Added random pic since OP asked. Sorry for weird angle.

I did 20% carbon-ceramic all around. I know it looks really dark but in person it's just enough to only show an outline of the people in the car. I'd do the front windshield with 70% if I could get away with it.

I understand a lot of people tint for cosmetic reasons, but I primarily do it because of heat. N.Y. doesn't get too hot, but I do hate getting into my car after it's been parked for several hours only to be greeted by pure heat. Is there a specific brand I should look into for genuine heat rejection?
I also am also not willing to go past legal tints. I believe it's 50% in NY? Inspection is currently tied to window tints and I don't wanna deal with the hassle.

My tint shop that I've taken my last few cars to wouldn't tint the windshield on my G80. They had an M8 that was damaged from installing the windshield tint (specifically the "sponge/foam" that runs the length of the dash where the bottom of the windshield meets the dash). It's probably their technique but they won't touch another M car with that same sponge/foam part. Anyone else heard this or did your windshield come out good with no problems?
