Window Tint - Yes or No?
 

Thought I would tint the windows, but the salesman says he prefers it without tint.

What do you all think about tint?

TIA

It already comes with tinted glass , and I agree with your dealer. Dark tint is illegal on driver and pax windows in my state, but even if it weren't, I'm not into the "celebrity limo" look.

I am in the same dilemma. I want tint for the sun block/heat since I am in Florida but don't anything too dark. Thinking maybe 30% or35%?

Personally, I think a medium tint, smoked will be nice and good for heat and a little privacy.

I don't like the limo black pimped out look on any car to be honest and would ruin any F type imo

What color is the car?

30 or 35% is a pretty dark tint. I would go for 75%. Look at Prestige Photosync 75. That will block a lot of heat (better than any non-Prestige dark tint) and it will preserve the OEM look.

Also if you care about heat reduction you have to do the windshield. A 75% tint won't be noticeable on windshield - I had it on my 2013 M5.

I am getting mine tinted Florida legal, actually done through the dealer and included in the price.

What percent tint? My dealer will be doing mine also.

I don't know for sure, but I would WAG that the OEM side and rear glass is pretty close to 75% as delivered.

Since the visors don't rotate to the side I really needed something to block some of the sun. I got my side windows done in the Texas maximum which I believe is 38%. Looks fine with Salsa Red and helps tremendously.

It stacks. So you lose another 25% light. But what makes the Prestige special is it eliminates 94% of Infra red. Most tints do nothing for IR.

The OEM glass is already filtering UV.

I am a big fan of tint and have done it on many of my cars. However, I have noticed that the glass on the F-Type is actually pretty dark from the factory, so I think I am going to hold off for a bit and see how it goes before adding any tint.

That's exactly the way I felt. Through a very bright and hot summer, I didn't feel the need for any additional tint on the OEM glass. I've also added tint on many other cars.

I initially wasn't going to tint mine, but the guy that wrapped my chrome and did the clear bra offered it to me for a ridiculous price, so I went ahead and did it. SOOOO glad. It looks WAY better in my opinion. At least against the white paint. I didn't go crazy dark, just a little bit to simplify the visuals on the car.

I like that as you can still see into the car some. What percent please?

Is the Prestige film a 3M film. There appears to be a 3M Prestige Crystalline film but not sure that is the same as the Photosync.

No Prestige Photosync is not 3M. It's made by Prestige Films.

The Crystalline is a competing film. Statistically Prestige performs better but is also more expensive. Crystalline would be my second choice.

To each their own but I like it...18%:

Beautiful!
Still say White is the only color for the coupe.
