Sorry, not too good at posting pictures. But I had 3m ceramic 70% on the windshield and glass roof sections, 30% on the front windows, and 20% on the back windows. In Texas you cannot legally tint the front windows darker than 30%.

How was your experience with the windshield? I've had my windshield tinted on several cars, and have never been satisfied. They always have some imperfection, and so I have given up on that.

I was thinking of doing 45 on front and maybe 30 on the back. Do you think that would look reasonably good?

this is the third car where I have had the windshield tinted. I use a vendor recommended originally by the local Porsche dealer to me, still using them. I have had no issue, and the heat reduction, especially on such a large windshield as the EQS, is fantastic. I do think your tint choice would look great, especially on the black 580. Mine is white, and I like the darker tint on a white car. But I have actually been stopped by a zealous young State Trooper to check the tint on my M550, so I am cautious.

Did your tint guy make a comment about how the front windshield was difficult to do? My tint guy is hesitant to do it as the gap between the dash and the window is so narrow he's worried he won't get his water absorbing paper out... I'm doing 30% on the front sides and 20% on the rears as well.

My guy had no problem. Tint is a must in San Antonio. This shop has now done my last 7 cars. Very experienced.

Thanks, I wouldn’t think it would be that complicated. My guy is no noob at tint either, he’s one of, if not the most popular Tesla tint shop in Utah. Having said that, I won’t push him to do something he doesn’t think he can do a good job at. I’ll probably get the windshield done somewhere else that primarily does very high end cars.
