![]() ![]() The car has pretty small windows to begin with, and an all-black interior, but most people don't even know that it's tinted. ![]() It barely looks tinted (very slight blue cast) but actually blocks almost as much heat/solar energy as a 35-40% film! It's cheaper than the Spectra stuff but more expensive than the mainstream Llumar/Suntek ceramic tints. I actually have 3M Crystalline on my Corvette, but I went with a very light one (70). I don't have experience with Spectra PhotoSync, but the Tesla guys love it. Any idea if Spectra PhotoSync prices are similar? He quoted me $650 to tint my car (excluding windshield). ![]() The other day, I stopped by another shop and this guy had 3M crystalline 20s on the front windows of his jeep and it looks amazing with this bluish tint and the film doesn't make the car look too dark considering their 20s. I will say that it does look pretty close to the shade I want if it was just slightly darker, but I'm definitely going to consider it. I did a quick google search and I found this white M3 coupe in Spectra Photosync 35. Do you have experience with this film? I'm guessing its comparable to 3M crystalline which is probably one of the best films out there right now. Spectra PhotoSync sounds like something I might be interested in if it really does have this photochromic quality. My existing cars have 3M color stable and 3M standard films, but in order to get the shades of 25 or 30 that I'm looking for I'm considering other brands like Suntek and Llumar. It costs about 20-30% more than the regular high-end tints, FYI. It's not totally clear at night, but it will be lighter and should improve visibility versus a typical "dark" tint. You might even want to consider something like Spectra PhotoSync which is photochromic it will darken during the day and lighten at night. Which tint will you be getting, and which tint do you have on your existing cars? There's a ton of choices and not all are created equal. Even better: ask if the shop has appointments for the % you're considering and return right when they're finishing those up so you can see how they look in-person.īasic logic would dictate that if you found 35 too light, and 20 too dark, pick something in between. Ask if you can borrow the sample and take it home for a nighttime test. I'd say go to the shop before your appointment and see how they look in the sunlight. It's hard to photograph tint consistently because of the ambient light, interior color, the construction of the film, camera settings, etc, so any photos posted here are going to be of limited use. Your tint shop should have samples on pieces of glass/plastic. If anyone has some nice pictures (preferably a direct sideview profile) of their cars with 25s or 30s it would be greatly appreciated. I've browsed through some of the old tint threads, but can't find too many good pictures of 25 or 30 tints because these are less common shades. I have 20s on two of the cars at my house and I think they are a bit darker than what I'd prefer, especially at night time. I've made an appointment next week to tint my car and I've narrowed it down to either 25 or 30 because my last car had 35s and I felt it was a little too light for my taste. ![]()
