Post Your Tint Setup!

[amschind]

I did 70% XPEL Prime XR Plus all around....it looks stock, but you can feel a huge difference. I wanted to be able to see out of the truck at night as I spend a lot of time driving in West Texas on poorly lit roads and off roads back in East Texas. I think the super dark tints look awesome, it just wasn't an option for me.

I’ve got 5% hours on the back glass and rear doors, I believe 35% on the front doors (whatever lowest legal limit is in New Mexico) and then a brow on the front windshield. Nothing ceramic, which I didn’t know was a thing when I got mine done back in 2021. Works well at keeping the heat down anyway, but I mainly got the 5% so my kids in the back seat weren’t getting torched by the sun. Have no problems seeing at night either, which is a big thing to me. My wife’s Expedition has 5% all the way around and you can’t see sh*t at night in that thing.

You sir are my hero. THANK YOU for posting.
I had the same thought as you and like accountant said, I went Xpel XR black 15% on front and 55% on rear to make it match and I didn't want it too dark. BUT as soon as i saw it roll out the bay I questioned my decision. It wasn't as dark as I hoped on the back. Def going back now that I see ur setup with same color (even better to compare) and get 15 all around.

Looks dark on cloudy days but bright sunny days looks close to factory.

It’s wild how dark 55% looks overlayed on the factory tinted back glasses. Almost seems like another example of the ceramic tint % vs old school tint % (old school getting truly darker each drop). If you do go 15% I can’t imagine a regret. I was just driving last night and had to back out of a parking lot, looking over my shoulder and no issues with visibility out the sides or back glass.

It does under certain conditions but looking from the back the 55 looks pretty light even on a cloudy day. On sunny bright days, it's not as dark. I know I will like the 15%

5% all around. 50% windshield. Ceramic. If you go to my youtube channel (same handle) you will see videos of what it looks like during the day (from inside) and what it looks like at night (again, from inside the truck.)

Llumar ceramic 35% on the fronts. There's a darker strip on the top of the windshield but don't have a good pic of that right now.

Took a photo from the front today.

Got 20% carbon hybrid applied to my front side windows this week.

I went with Xpel Prime XR Plus:
- 30% all around
- 30% on the sunroof
- 70% on the windshield

Darkest legal tint on driver and passenger front windows (25%) - Llumar Ceramic. Rear windows and back window factory. Pano and windshield Llumar Air 80 (0%) for heat reduction.

3M™ Scotchshield™ SAS35 38% on side windows. Nothing on back because camper shell. I wanted Llumar 7mil but nobody seems to sell it in the states. I'm happy with the heat rejection and light, ceramic would definitely reject more heat. I think there's some existing tint or colored glass on the two rear windows because they're definitely darker - it's nice that it's kind of hard to see in from outside, but easy to see out of.

Great tint combination, any particular reason for the 70% on the windshield?

The place I had it done recommended it, and I think they only had 70% or 90% as options. The owner had 70% on his F150, and I honestly couldn't see a major difference between the two, so I went with the darker option. I'm really happy with it, has cut the amount of heat in the cab down significantly.

I went with 78% ceramic Xpel on all front, rear, back, and twin panel. Looks factory but the ceramic means I don't feel any heat. Even when we drove to Key West, FL last August with the windows up. Can get in the truck and it take 3 - 4 minutes to cool down with the heat being blocked by the tint. Did same on last 2 F150s and my wife's current and last 2 Escapes.
