Default Window Tint

Good evening. I have just purchased a 2017 Z06 and I need to tint the windows. Anyone have a recommendation. I’ve been hearing about ceramic tint. Is this best? Anyone have an idea on the percentage? I realize a lot of it depends on your state laws (don’t care) and personal preference. The color is Black Rose Metallic.

Hi...welcome to the forum! Beautiful Z06!

If you take a minute to do a search or read down through the first few pages of this forum, there have been several very recent threads on this topic, and even a poll about window tint percentages. Lot of good reading and opinions!

Great car; congratulations!
Look at the Xpel XR prime plus window tint (my preference) vs 3M Crystalline tint. Xpel is ceramic and has much better IR/heat reduction (>95%) and 99% UV reduction.

I highly recommend Llumar formula one pinnacle series tint. It is ceramic, has very good heat rejection and a lifetime warranty. I had it on my 14 Stingray, 30%. I have it on my 17 F-150 Platinum, 30% on all four doors and rear window. I also have it on my 18 Grand Sport, 30% both doors, quarter windows and rear window. Law in my state is 35% so its slightly darker than allowed. Never been hassled.
