Ceramic Window Tinting... Need your A D V I C E

Question... When you get the front window tinted how do place your registration sticker and toll road tags? Especially the registration sticker that has to be changed every year here in Texas.

They should be able to leave a window.

Inspection/registration stickers peel off so easily. You can apply and reapply that sticker if you don’t get it straight. I didn’t have any issues.
My wife had a Nissan Leaf in which we did this to the front windshield. Awesome stuff. Really blocked the heat.

If you are talking about 3M Crystalline that stuff is pretty great. It runs more expensive than regular tint like 3M color stable, but the heat rejection properties are awesome.

Material cost more, its harder to work with, so I would expect higher pricing, but I have found some shops that have reasonable pricing.

I use it on my desert trucks because I dont want dark windows for night driving, and really need that heat rejection during the day. Clear 90 on the windshield is awesome... cant even tell its there, and it makes a massive difference.

Has anyone found where to actually buy the tint? I've been looking to buy Spectra Photosync Ceramic and just do it myself but no luck. (They are charging around $1,000 to have a Tesla done... god save me and my 4runner.

I don’t know a lot of Tesla cars, but I have heard some peoples review heat rejection film and give it a really poor review saying it does nothing… but also read that IR hear rejection coatings or whatever are already applied to some higher ends cars like that (like those that have large panoramic roof windows)

Do some research before throwing away coin on something you don’t really need.

That said, pretty sure 4Runner doesn't have anything fancy like that.

Just fyi... I recently replaced the registration sticker and just peeled old one off and placed new one on with no impact to clear ceramic tint.

Does the sticker stick to the outside or the inside of the windshield?

Inside the windshield.
