Life seems to take me away from this beauty a lot, but finally got her tinted. Spectra Photosync by Prestige Film Technologies. 45 front, 30 back (front windshield still untinted). It was recommended to me that I get 30 all around, but I ignorantly refused and went a tad lighter on the front. In retrospect, I should have followed the professional's advice.
For those of you looking at Photosync for your next tinting, I can tell you that it's a very beautiful tint that needs getting used to, as it is about 5 mils in thickness (over double the thickness of most other tints). If you're expecting complete solar energy rejection, be mindful that it will not prevent the heat from getting in; is does make a noticeable difference while you're driving, but if you let her sit out in the sun for a couple hours, the interior is still going to be quite hot (note: this may change after I tint the front windshield). But I gotta say, the tint makes her looks sexy Edit: the first 3 photos are when I dropped her off before the tint. The next 2 photos are immediately after the tint (still wet). The last photo is a few days afterward when everything has dried and settled. |

You're right, though, that the stuff makes a difference when driving. Before the tint, I could feel the spring sun, which here is almost as strong as summer sun in civilized climes, on my skin; not so much since the tint. And your dark blue over cream is a great color combo. Last edited by Wolfus Aurelius; 06-12-2019 at 10:43 AM.. |

@Wolfus Aurelius
What are you using for a rear shade? Generic or F30 custom cut? |

I'd agree with the 8sp comment. I have to drive in auto-manual all the time to avoid drone / get the quietest cruising note. |
