Rears are factory tinted. I have no clue what the fronts are % tinted. I just asked the dealer to match them as close as possible before taking delivery.
We had ours tinted last week and we are in Florida. We wanted the two front windows to match the rear windows and then the windshield to have some UV and heat blocking tint. The front doors were done with Llumar Pinnacle series ceramic tint at 15% and then the Llumar Airblue 80 which is almost clear but blocks 99% UV and about 50% heat. It was noticeable in our Florida heat that we already have.
I got my front side windows done with 35% Ceramic XPEL XR with the circuit red interior. 35% is pretty good for me, 30% would've been fine as well.
I might go with 35% on the rears and 70%-80% on the windshield for heat rejection. Shade's obviously wont match because stock rear tint is 20% and the shade is Dark Grey while the front is 70% and Greenish, but it's barely noticeable.

did you lower your car? If so what springs are you using? Thanks
The sides are 20% and the windshield is 30%. For those asking about the HUD, I do notice that it is not quite as sharp as prior to the film application, but I don’t have any regrets about it.
Are you saying your HUD is now not as clear after you put on what is called the eyebrow tint on the windshield?
Please list:
- % tint
- color of your interior (does make a big difference in how dark tint appears)
- type of tint if you know it (smoke, dyed, metalized, ceramic, etc)
- brand of tint if you know it (3M, Solarguard, Lumaster, etc)
- front 35%, rear and back 20%, nothing on sunroof
- red/black interior
- ceramic
- XPEL prime XR
from the picture it looks like a full windshield tint and not eyebrow
Thank you for responding, that’s what I am hoping because I have now done my front windows 20 XR ceramic, and that matches the back windows from the factory according to my place, but it seems like I need something on the windshield also but I would never do the whole windshield.
Front: LLumar IRX 50%
Sides & back: LLumar IRX 30%
Left the sunroof alone
Front tint didn’t affect HUD at all. Looks exactly the same. Might be a smidge clearer because the windshield is darker now but definitely not worse.
Your windshield is 50%? Would you say it’s cutting out enough of the sunlight to prevent sunburn?
I wear shorts all the time and my knees and arms get burnt from the windshield, now that I have tinted the side windows.
I live in a state where it’s illegal to tint the windows at all so the windshield has to be tinted such that I don’t draw attention, But also so that I don’t get burnt.
