It's been less than 2 weeks, but overall I couldn't be happier so far... the shop I used did a fantastic job on the install, no edges or seems to be seen anywhere on the PPF. The detail and PPC really makes the mineral grey look even deeper, especially in person. I was a little nervous about deciding to tint the windshield, but my worries were put to rest driving it home from the shop at night... I couldn't tell from the inside that it was tinted, only affect I noticed was the HUD being a little brighter (solved by turning the brightness down slightly in idrive). From the outside it goes great with the 35% tint on the rest of the car IMO... gives it some slight reflectivity getting rid of that contrast between a normal clear windshield and tinted side windows. My primary reason for tinting the windshield was to better protect the leather dash in the summer and to help keep the car a little cooler. Obviously I can't comment on that yet as it's currently below 20 degrees F where I am with hardly any UV index. I probably could have gone with 70%, but I wanted to go as conservative as possible (with the options the shop had) while still getting some protection... I'm happy with the 80%. Next on the list after winter, lower this thing and get rid of that 4x4 look in the front! Anyway, here are some pics from just after the install:

How u like the suntek CXP tint? Is is charcoal color? Can you pl post more pics of tint?

I have CXP on my E46, FormulaOne Stratos on my GLE AMG 63S and Prime XR Plus on my MG F80. In my opinion, XPEL is more black/charcoal & Stratos is slightly greenish. I would skip CXP and go w/(1) of the other (2) options.

Looks good!

Do you notice the tint on the WS at night? Can you still see pretty well. I normally do 20% all around and don't touch the WS.

I've had tinted windshields for the past 8 years so I don't really notice it, especially only being 35%.

Agree 100%. I have always tinted my windshield and have never had any visibility issues.

Love that Remus exhaust - I'm still undecided - Remus or M-Performance 🤔

In my experience, Remus had a deeper aggressive note compared to the M-Performance. But I'd say it's hard to choose unless you hear it in person
