    Anybody heard of this brand? FLEXfilm
    I had the PANOflex installed today. The place I went to has been in business for
    25 years and swore by this stuff. Carbon, Ceramic hybrid. No interference with
    electronics, blocks ir and uv. Showed me the light box demo with the red hot light
    and how it doesn't let heat pass through and the others did. Ok I'm sold, exactly what I want no heat to come in my truck well most of it anyways. Heres what I see now that it's installed. Has a slight greenish hue, ok not bad I still like it.
    Not as clear as 3M but again not a deal breaker. Looks good on my truck, no bubbles, rainbows, actually looks like the best install on tints I've seen. No interference as of yet. Had 70's put on rear factory which probably is 20 or 25.
    I had 20's put in the fronts. Even outs we'll. The only thing I noticed was my
    cabin temp was 102 before I had it done and 102 after it was on. hmmm
    Double checked it with another temp sensor and it's right. The tinted windows feel cool to the touch. I expected some reduction in temp. It's 90 degrees here
    in FL. I put up my Vent Shade in the windshield since it was on fire and it was still hot in the truck. Any ideas? Even the cheap stuff should reduce the temp I would think.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Sounds like you need to insulate the floor and roof. Nice tint job by the way!

    Thinking of clear tinting the roof. I guess it's possible.
