Yes sir. When you have a female wear a dress, skirt or shorts getting into your car when the car's been sitting outdoor for a while on a hot day, the seats will burn. This is the reason...it gets extremely hot on those seats.....but how hot is it really?

We put it to the test and here is the story:

Good client of ours just purchased this pristine 2013 Brabus decked out CLS63 in for our latest product. Made by Prestige Film Technologies, this is the latest window film brought in for our customers. This product's performance improves as solar heat intensifies and has a manufacturer rating of 98.5% of IR rejection. This is significant considering that even ceramic films come in at 80%. Also another added feature of this product is that it's shade darkens as a result of the heat rejecting properties changing based on solar intensity.

Updated photos to come shortly!

These are the before pics:

With everything we do, we like to present to our customers that the products we carry are of the highest quality. Prestige Film Technologies really knocked this one out of the park. We have been beta testing this product for them close to 2.5 years and their PhotoSync IR Nano Tint is truly impressive in its performance. More importantly, we put it onto our spectrometer and no metals registered through it. This means, you will not get any signal interruptions like all metallic films and some ceramic based tint.

Below is our test:

BEFORE WE APPLIED PHOTOSYNC:

Outdoor Temperature: 75 degrees
Interior Color - Black
**Keep this in mind, the darker the color of the interior, the higher the heat absorption rate
Time of test: 3:25 PM

In only 1 Minute 14 Seconds, the seat gets to a sizzling 115.8 degrees


At 5 Minute 35 Seconds, the surface temperature rises to 122.9 degrees (7.1 degrees!)


At just a bit over 10 minutes, this same seat popped to a skin burning 131.3 degrees (an additional 8.4 degrees 5 minutes later!)


The windshield registers in at 139 degrees after sun exposure for just 11.25 minutes

After completion of the installation for the side and rear glasses at PhotoSync45, we ran another test at the same time the day after to replicate the conditions. However, the next day had an outdoor temperature of 84 degrees. Being 9 degrees hotter than the day before, we are definitely putting this product to test

Outdoor Temperature: 84 degrees
Time of Test: 3:20pm
Product Installed: PhotoSync45 (45% VLT)

At 1 Minute 45 Seconds, the seat registers in a fairly cool 88.3 degrees (VS. without PhotoSync, at 1 Minute 15 Seconds, the temperature was 115.8 degrees!)


At the 4 Minute marker, we see that temperature rises to 90.3 degrees (Compared to without PhotoSync test at 5 Minutes to a blistering 122.9 degrees)


And finally in 10 Minutes time, the surface temperature increased to 94.6 degrees (rising only 6 degrees despite being 9 degrees hotter outside). This is a noticeably significant difference in heat rejection for PhotoSync. (Without PhotoSync surface temperature at 10 Minutes 42 Seconds came in at 131.3 degrees!)

Do you know if Prestige has any plans for darker than 45% VLT

Premier

Unfortunately, we do not know. Where are you located?

Love this stuff. Just had my 991 done and it came out great! It's noticeably cooler in the car. Before I had my GT3 with Huper and this new tint def feels cooler. Mucho gracias Premier.

whats the approx. cost for a 911?

Performance aside, it also must look good. So here's our install photos...completed pics to come shortly

After all the water and bubbles squeegeed out....

Why did you take the windshield trim off?
Do you install on the exterior?

Isn't it illegal to put any coating on the main windshield? I thought sides and rear are ok (actually front passenger is technically illegal), but the actual windshield is a no-no.

In any event, I appreciate you taking the time to quantify this for us.

Premier

The piece of film is heat shrunk from the outside of the glass to prep for install and the trim pieces for this particular car is in the way of our prep work. (on the 911s, it is not necessary to have the trim pieces off) The application of the film actually goes on the interior.

Premier

Technically, it is not legal, but many of our customers prefer to have total protection from the sun. As long as you stay on the light side, you will be ok. In this case, the film is 75% VLT...for comparison purposes, OEM glass is rated between 85%-88%. The higher the percentage, the lighter the film as % represents the amount of light coming through the glass.

Premier

That is correct. Windshield applications are not allowed. On the front two windows in California, the legal limit is 70% vlt (visible light transmission).

The edges shaved to eliminate the gap

looks great.
