Crystalline 90 or Photosync 75?
I'm looking to tint and my goal is to get as much heat reduction as I can get while keeping the look of the car 100% OEM. I'm doing the whole car, including the windshield. Since my top priority is looks, I'm deciding between Crystalline 90 and Spectra Photosync 75. Spectra has told me that you can still see the 75 "a little bit" and that it's slightly blue. If you can't see the Crystalline at all I'd give it the nod, but it's hard to see any in person comparisons. Any thoughts / recommendations?

Between the 2, I would go with the photosync. If heat is a major concern, the photosync blocks way more heat. Looks are subjective and you have to see samples in person
Photosync 75 has a tser of 58% Crystalline 90 has tser of 34% |

I had 3M Crystalline 70 on my E46 and it looked good for a while, then started to develop these weird lines and what looked like scratches (but they were UNDER the tint) after a while. Wouldn't recommend the 3M product.
I have had a GREAT experience with Formula One Pinnacle Series. |

Anyway, so with regards to the 3M Cyrstalline line I, haven't had issues with the tint itself. After 16 months, it is still as good as new. However, if heat reflection is your priority I think there are other brands that claim to perform better than what 3M claims.

i have photosync 55 on all windows except the windshield and love it for it's heat rejection and reducing the glare of the sun. It does have a blue haze shade to it when the sun hits the window at the right angle. I am contemplation for my windshield but holding off because of the blue hue.
