I imagine that when you sit in traffic on a day with the sun frying your car, you will feel the difference between s7 and s9 much more.
The sun in NorCal is really intense so I put crystalline on the front windshield even though it’s a lease and did standard 3m ir on the rest. If I owned the car, I would have done full crystalline because the difference is significant.
Btw just for your own peace of mind do a search for reviews from people who went with Rayno and also the installers. My installer was rather upset with them.
I talked to the guy at Spectrum. He seemed nice, but was recovering from back issues and I needed this tint done this week due to hectic next week. Pricing was similar. I would have tried him if I had more time, but then again every time I visit Sunshield Hamid treats me well. He’s been in the business since 1986…
I paid about $1000 (say about cause I got a few other things done) for xpel prime xr plus on a tesla model y. all windows including sunroof and windshield. I’ve seen similar pricing but it was for say pinnacle formula one, or ir. I just wanted to try xpel.
I haven’t been back since the pandemic so no idea how pricing on S7 has changed. I’ve been meaning to go back for the ‘23 Bolt since I’m almost certain I’m gonna buy it out next year. Maybe we can squeeze OG pricing if we bring two cars to him unless you wanna try someone else.
All of my previous cars were perfect so maybe I just got lucky
I did text him in October last year and he quoted me $425 for S9 and $190 to add windshield.
FK did a good job on the Outback, if I didn’t have a trip planned when I did it, I probably would have used someone closer for the price difference.
The work they did held up well until I sold it. It seemed expensive at the time - I’d price again before just going back there. In fact I’m thinking about adding more heat rejection to the V60. I wouldn’t tint the windshield on a lease.
I’ve continually been going to him since and recommended many friends/family. He does edgeless tinting and he now carries Suntek Evolve for the latest in heat rejection - the priciest of the three tho (CXP, CIR, Evolve)
Manny at Tint Status in Van Nuys. (818) 438-3353 Have done at least 10 cars there. Very fair prices, fast work and all the options. I prefer ceramic. Did a car there this week. Excellent as always. Highly recommend. They are listed on yelp you can check reviews.
