Looks really clean, great work. Less is more! Some people really overdo it. This is very tasteful.

I didn’t think windshield tint was legal in any state without a medical condition? I find tint makes driving at night more of a challenge.

XPEL PRIME XR PLUS Tint

Ceramic Particle Technology
Contains a proprietary blend of ceramic particles to act as a solid barrier to infrared heat while maintaining the ease of install in a 1.5 mil construction.

Superior Heat Rejection
Our multilayer nano-ceramic particle technology blocks up to 98% of the infrared heat.

UV Ray Protection
PRIME XR PLUS provides SPF 1,000 protection that effectively blocks over 99% of harmful UV rays that can lead to numerous skin cancers, premature aging and skin cell damage.

Greater Clarity
In the past, keeping cool meant choosing a darker shade of tint. The multi-layer nano construction in PRIME XR PLUS provides ultra-high performance without reducing outbound visibility.

Crystal Clear Signal
In a digital world, clear communication is key. PRIME XR PLUS construction will not interfere with radio, cellular, or bluetooth signals.
