Xpel Prime XR Plus Installation by Alligator Window Tint

Over the weekend, I ended up hiring Martin From Alligator Window Tint who was featured on Obsessed Garage tinting Matt's various cars. Once I saw those episodes, I knew he would be the one to fix my window tint horrors.

I filmed the installation and wanted to share with this community. I purely film these videos as a journal of my car modifications and for fun.

I was thankful enough that Martin allowed me to slow him down while I filmed the install. Martin did a excellent job especially in my father's one car garage.





Part 1 (In this video, I explain why I choose Martin and why I am getting my window redone)



Part 2 (Window Tint Installation)




I am open for constructive criticism.

I have Llumar Air 80 on mine - It makes a little bit more visible IMO on a bright day. Other than that, no other affect on HUD.

This…makes it more visible especially if you wear polarized sunglasses. It's not a magical improvement but definitely noticeable. I have 70% ceramic on my front.

Great to hear visibility of HUD improves especially with polarized sunglasses.

I was also worried about the visibility of HUD after getting tint. I guess it is time to get tinted! Thanks!
