That is to cool. You can have anyone install it correct?

Unfortunately not just anyone. This product is actually quite difficult to heat shrink to conform to the front or rear glass, so it will take an installer with exceptional skill to get this done. We recommend contacting the manufacturer to see who is capable of performing this app with PhotoSync.

Thank you. I will have to call around this area and see if i can find someone that is able to install. I have the solar tent already installed on my vette, and well you can say it doesn't do what they told me what it does.

And how does PhotoSync compare to an OEM product? Let's compare it to Porsche's Thermal IR Glass option (an $1125 option for just the rear windows). In this example, we applied PhotoSync45 (45% VLT - the lower the percentage, the darker the film gets) to the front two windows and compare it directly to the rear windows with Porsche's IR Glass (30% VLT):

From our tests, it outperforms all of the ceramic films on the market. There is also a very unique feature to this film's IR coating....it will also darken as its performance coating is exposed to sunlight. In our tests, this product will darken by up to 11% and block out 98.5% of infrared rays. Ceramic based products are generally in the 80% range for infrared rejection.

There are two downsides that we have noticed.....window tinters must heat shrink the film for curved glass (rear glass). PhotoSync is pretty darn tough to heat shrink, which means not very many window tinters can install it properly.

2nd, there is a limited number of Spectra Dealers (authorized centers) from Prestige Film Technologies. I believe there is no more than 10 global dealers.

One other pro to this product compared to some of ceramic based tints is that, since this product is not ceramic, it will not leave a "ghosting" mark when it is heat shrunk.

PhotoSync does come in the following shades (represented in "VLT" - visible light transmision)

PhotoSync? - Prestige Film Technologies

75%
65%
45%

***Keep in mind, according to the manufacturer, their "Solar Adaptive Coating" is what's truly unique about this nano tint. The performance of this tint actually improves as it gets hotter. Another effect of their Solar Adaptive Coating is that the film actually darkens when the sun gets more intense....by up to 11%! We had confirmed this effect as well.

We have used the various products on the market before such as dyed, metallic, ceramic, & hybrids and so far, this is one product that is technologically advanced to match the technology of luxury cars today.

How do you think this would do in southern states where we regularly see 100+ degree days during the summer? Any guess as to how much hotter interior temps might be, in comparison to the relatively cool test days shown? Also, are darker tints available than 45% VLT? Would that further reduce interior heat? I apologize for so many questions, this is just seems like an awesome product.

Edit: btw, Y'all did a fantastic job on the install. The curvature of the glass alone, much less the heat shrinking process, makes it very easy to have a small bubble here or there and I see none in those pictures. Also, I really like how the tint extends to the glass' edge, instead of being cut a few millimeters short (atleast it appears that way).
