Figured I would post here as there are a lot of window tint conversations that come up. My goal was to match the rear as best as possible and I’m extremely happy with the result. Can’t notice a difference from interior (no strong blue or brown hue from aftermarket tint). This was taken on a more overcast day, so tint will appear its darkest posible. I’ll take more pictures when the sun comes out.
15% Xpel XR Black on front two windows Smoked side markers Paid $170 total

I had 15% nano carbon ceramic tint done as well for mine, but all the way around including rear windows and back window. For the fronts, I went with Llumar Air 80 on the windshield for heat reduction and UV protection. Problem when I did the rear windows is that it makes it a little darker than the fronts because of the tint that's already on the rear windows from factory. I asked about this to the tint guys before they installed mine, but they said it would still match even though they put 15% instead of 20 or 25%.... guess they were wrong |

If you're doing a custom wrap, I'd have them color match it and cover the reflectors with the custom wrap. If you're doing a PPF wrap (gloss or stealth/matte), I'd get the IND color matched reflectors and have the installer put PPF over it.

I bought the IND side markers but unfortunately only half of them shipped and the appointment for wrap was set. I’ll be doing 5% tint on the side markers with stealth PPF over top. I wanted them to at least be consistent and this was the option available as I unfortunately only received half of them. I think it’ll be ok in the end and probably better option for a lease.

TLDR, whatever MSRP was but I don’t remember because I split it up across a bunch of sites/sellers for availability purposes. |
