59K Standard Dual-Motor AWD - Exterior Mods

[59K]

I forgot to mention I am also looking at quotes from local tint shops. Will probably only do driver/passenger sides + the small side triangles.

Lots of information on CTOC on tint consensus & ideas. Much appreciated!

What's the consensus?

Do you do the rear windows?

Fingerprints killed me on my last CT. This time I’m planning to finally wrap - looking at a gloss 30% clear….

I’ve only had mine since Friday and the fingerprint struggle is real.

Then I think me and my OCD are gonna clash!!! Hopefully the cyberbrite1 and Silazane50 helps. Not planning a $5-$6K warp. More like a $250-$300 DIY wrap. Lol

Per Claude AI:
Weighing ceramic windshield film (~$700) vs. just a sunshade + pre-conditioning:

For parked heat, a $70 - $100 sunshade and app pre-cooling do most of the job for almost nothing. Energy-wise the film barely matters — AC is a tiny slice of highway draw, so you're saving ~1%, a couple miles on a long leg.

Where it earns its keep is long trips: you can't drive with a sunshade up, so the film's the only thing killing that bake-through-the-glass feel for hours, plus less heat-soak at every charging stop and UV protection for the dash.

Sunshade if you're on a budget; film if you live in it on summer hauls. Just don't buy it for range.

Yep, I survived the better part of 2 years without a wrap by just leaving the truck perpetually filthy most of the time and an occasional machine wash. Initially I was doing all the things to fight fingerprints: windex, the other one w/o the corrosive stuff, washing regularly etc etc. then I gave up. Couldn’t bring myself to fork over the $$$ to wrap it when I liked the stainless look + ruggedness, but this time around I think I’ll bite the bullet on that 30% clear wrap so I can tone down the “Look at me” vibe of natural stainless a little bit and also fight fingerprints…
