I hope you don't have paint damage. Putting the PPF and wraps, they cut the stuff on the car. They aim to cut shallow and tear it, but that really hard.

Love the colour ; just like mine but you have 2x the power... ... is this dark tint for the windows legal ? Here you'd get a staggering fine..

The coating has undergone insignificant wear after just a year. The useful (exposed) life of the coating is 3 years.

My guess is it's the exact same shade of red and JLR have just done their usual trick of renaming something to make it seem new, but of course I could be wrong!
It looks different in different light. I have some photos where it looks almost terracotta (it's not). In the sun, it's bright red, and in lower light settings, it's more of a wine.

Wow, I love this color. Even though it was my top color choice while shopping, I'm pretty happy with my IRR. This color is amazing, too.

No damage whatsoever. The PPF was pre-cut, as were the wraps. Apparently, he spent $7k on the wrap! It has kept the paint preserved quite nicely.

I didn't even know it was tinted until I took delivery. I rather like it. Keeps me from getting wrinkles, LOL! It's not as dark as it looks in the picture. That was a rainy day. I think it should be fine here. The only person I know who gets pulled over around here for tint is an old coworker of mine, and she has limo tint on her windows!

Yes they do. Except for....nevermind. LOL

I've noticed a lot of people staring at my car. I love the fact that it's just so different from everything else on the road.

Finally got some decent photos although I'm sure a pro could do a lot better. I couldn't resist the opportunity today.

Nice. What percent? I was thinking of 35% for mine. I don't like it too dark.

driver and passenger window 35%
back quarter windows and rear window 20%
uniformed real nicely - was very pleased with the results.
200 bucks and the guy hooked me up with an upgrade. Went from regular tint to ceramic tint. No charge for the upgrade. Just told me he did it when I picked it up. This guy is awesome, he did my xpel as well before I put on the ceramic.

Yes, yellow would look great! I have red interior though, so the calipers have to be red, too 😉
