so what is the price on a panamera? Do you also install the felt when doing tint that I have been reading about? How would this work in conjunction with the thermally insulated glass? I am really only looking for heat rejection, fade resistance, and protection for the leather dash and door panels

 

Yes, for certain vehicles we can install what is called tintguard that is a high grade felt liner. This product would only enhance the thermally insulated glass...here is a test we conducted to show how Spectra PhotoSync compared on a heat rejection basis to Porsche's Thermal IG option:

Here's another Panamera GTS with Spectra PhotoSync nano tint.

The tint shade is at 75% for the windshield and 65% for the sides and rear. The percentages represent the amount of light going into the vehicle, so the higher the percentage the lighter the film. For comparison purposes, OEM glass are typically rated from 85%-88% VLT (visible light transmission)

Amazing heat rejection - 98.5% of infrared block! Most window tint on the market only produces 20% - 30% of infrared rejection. Even for the ceramic tints, they achieve between 70%-80% depending on brand.

 

Our customers love Spectra PhotoSync from Prestige Film Technologies.....so much, that all 3 of these have it installed!

 

Weather's heating up in many parts of the world now. Consider Spectra PhotoSync as it's the best heat rejecting film that we've tested to date. Here are some photos of various shades on wide variety of cars:

'12 Turbo with Spectra PhotoSync45% Sides + 75% Windshield


2013 Cayenne Turbo with Full Mansory Kit ($80,000 kit!!!) - Spectra PhotoSync 35% all around


2011 GT2RS with Satin Guard Paint Protection Film + Spectra PhotoSync75 Sides + 75% Windshield

 

A video we just created to show how well Spectra PhotoSync performs even on 75% VLT (this is pretty light compared to factory glass at approximately 88%)

The windshield of this Tesla Model S has the 75% PhotoSync on the windshield. In just twenty minutes time, the surface temperature difference is 20 degrees. Again, this is with a 75% film, which is extremely light for window film (no longer have to go dark to block heat)

 

We just installed Spectra PhotoSync 75% to the windshield of a Tesla. Right here, we use a BTU meter to test the performance of the product installed - what a difference!

 

Spectra PhotoSync 65 on the front two and 55 on the rears. 75 went onto the windshield. Exceptional clarity and superior heat rejection:

Where can I have this installed in Orange County?

 

We recently conducted a test to see how hot the Tesla Model S gets in the rear. There is a general consensus among Tesla owners regarding too much heat build up. For the rear hatch of the Tesla Model S, there is an option for rear facing seats for children. Owners of the Model S have been complaining and executives at Tesla even know of this issue. With that said, we decided to conduct a test to measure the ambient air temperature of the rear hatch. Tesla's rear hatch glass is a laminated glass that has a metallic coating to it to reject some heat; however, even this is not enough from our findings.

Though this is not a 991, we believe it is necessary to show the efficacy of every product we carry at Premier. Below is our test:

Test Subjects - 2 Tesla Model S
Tesla 1 - factory laminated OEM Glass with metallic coating
Tesla 2 - Spectra PhotoSync 45 installed to the side glasses + rear hatch

30 Minute Test in the Rear Hatch with both vehicles side by side
Duration: 30 Minutes
Time of Test: 3:35 pm
Exterior Temperature: 88 degrees
Purpose: Compare air temperatures inside hatch between vehicle with no window film and the other with Spectra PhotoSync installed

Here are the two test mules:


Test Vehicle 1 - No Film
Start off at 84 degrees


In just 3 minutes the temperature rose to 92 degrees


Close to 7 minutes, the air temperature rises to 105 degrees


At the 15 minute marker, temperature is at an unbearable 123 degrees


26 Minutes - Temperature now reads 136 degrees


At the end of the 30 minute test, it is a scalding 140 degrees, which is the reason why leaving children in a vehicle can be a fatal mistake.

 

Not too sure. Typically there are only 2-4 Spectra Dealers per state as authorized by the manufacturer, Prestige Film Technologies. Give them a call to see who they can direct you toward:

408-657-3880 or vtran@prestige-films.com

Good luck!

 

Test Vehicle 2 with Spectra PhotoSync 45 installed to the side and rear hatch.

Test starts at 85 degrees



At the 15 minute marker, it is 96 degrees compared to Vehicle 1 at 123 degrees.



At the completion of the test at 31 Minutes, the Tesla Model S with Sepctra PhotoSync is at 104 degrees compared to 140 degrees in the other Tesla. This is a 36 degree differential!


IF YOU ARE SEEKING AN INSTALLER OF SPECTRA PHOTOSYNC AND NOT LOCATED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER, PRESTIGE FILM TECHNOLOGIES, TO SEE WHO THEY HAVE IN YOUR AREA:

408-657-3880 OR vtran@prestige-films.com

 

curious as to what the temp would be after say 3 or 4 hours (amount of time a car might be parked outside between drives)?

 

That's a great question! We actually conducted a test for 120 minutes and the results were just as impressive:

91 degrees outdoor
2pm time of test
Vehicle 1
1hr mark reached 154 degrees
2hr mark reached 162 degrees

Vehicle 2 Spectra Photosync 35 (we did not have the same vehicle available for test)
1 hr mark reached 116 degrees
2 hr mark reached 123 degrees

What we've noticed that the rate / speed of temperature escalation slows down after a certain amount of time and one of the major contributing factors to this is because the sun is never staying in one location. As the sun moves, so does the angle of direct heat, which plays a large role in both IR and visible light entering into the vehicle. Regardless, the #s here are quite impressive in terms of heat rejection with PhotoSync.
