    You literally asked for opinions in your original post. Now you can't handle when people give criticism. Welcome to the real world.

    I did XPEL Blue 80 and to be honest, I'd say it wasnt worth the cost. $275 and barely any difference in cabin heat and on top of that, didn't get nearly the amount of glare reduction I was hoping for. My own fault. Should've researched the glare reduction more than I did.
    I like a very light tent on the windshield, but for me to say it's worth it....I'd have to say to go at least 60% for anyone looking for either of those two qualities in a window film.

    I think this is the move for anyone planning to tent all glass.

    just a couple of things tbh
    all the people getting so upset over 50% on the windshield lmao it really doesnt change much at all... helps keep it cool in the cabin a bit and knocks some glare... also before you say you cant see at night ive worked nights for 10 years.... (until recently finally day shift woot!) ive never had an issue with being able to see or not... and thats even back when i had a coupe that had 20% all around besides the 50% on the windshield.... never got a ticket never had an issue with seeing and even when someone hit said car at a light no issue was brought up with it... yup its illegal but hey most things are anymore so eh if you get pulled over pay the ticket and move on with life tbh.

    Yeah.
    I'm more upset that people keep saying windshield tent. Probably the same people that change their break pads and replace their bumbers.
