Hey all - got it yesterday and love it so far but I can really feel the sun through the front windows. Any advice on installers in Dallas and what type of tint to use is appreciated!

I think ceramic is the way to go but I'm concerned about it matching the back windows.

Thanks!

I did nano ceramic tint 35% rear windows and back, 70%front windows and windshield, and 5% (basically blackout) on the sunroof. Massive heat reduction, love it. I live in Los Angeles so it’s hot and sunny most of the time.

were your back windows already tinted when you bought it? mine were

Yes I added those tints on top of the factory tint.

Do not do Suntek CIR, it's garbage and everything has a haze when the sun is hitting it. I did windshield 50%, side windows 35% about a week ago and already considering taking it off. Either that or the installer put junk film in the CIR box and installed that instead lol.

it also bluish cast, while the factory tint seems to have a slight brown tint to it, or neutral. It doesn't match at all.

I really like the tint I used, it was Rayno brand nano ceramic. But most important is to trust your installer and just use what they recommend and who they have a relationship with in terms of experience and warranty. My shop uses Rayno but there are other good brand also.

I just took delivery of my R1T two weeks ago and got my windows/windshield/roof tinted at XPEL Dallas along with front PPF OEM package and Ceramic Coating on the entire body and wheels. They did a fantastic job. They used XPEL Prime XR Plus - Nano Ceramic IR tint 30% fronts and 70% rest.

Jovani and Morgan were great to work with and would highly recommend them.

I just got Suntek CIR ceramic tint installed side windows and windshield - and now there's a blue haze whenever the sun is hitting the windows. When you are in shade, the haze is gone and it looks like normal window tint. It's horrible and far worse than any "cheap" non ceramic window tint I've ever had. At least the box the installer used said CIR and he didnt just put random cheap tint in the box lol
