Tinted the Pathfinder yesterday! Suntek CXP Tint

I had the Pathfinder tinted yesterday. Overall it has made a huge difference. I decided on the Suntek CXP 18% all around, Suntek CXP 50% on sunroof, and Suntek CXP 70% on windshield (Will do that next week when tint comes in). I can already tell a difference when driving in the sun. When the sun is to the side of me I really can feel the heat much. Also it is surprisingly pretty good to see through. I was worried it was going to be too dark but it is fine. I do plan on upgrading my reverse lights to LED bulbs to maybe help with night time reversing.

I chose this tint because of how well it rejects heat and the quality of it.
My tinter actually has a little display box showing the difference between CXP tint against the other kinds and with a heat bulb behind each one. The CXP tint had the best heat rejection and looked best IMO.

Here are before and after shots:

If you dont mind me asking how much did it set you back? I am a suntek dealer in NC i installed suntek carbon 05% on all rear windows, carbon 18% on the front two and CXP 80% on the windshield. I like the CXP just very expensive per roll lol.

Well I paid $325 total for everything. It seems pretty comparable to other shops in the area. They wanted $265 to do all windows except windshield. After windshield and sun roof added it came to $325.
