My eyes are bad and I can’t get my windows tinted too dark. Any have suggestions on a product similar to tint? I have heard of Raynofilm phantom series. Has anyone tried that ?

Rayno is simply a brand name.
You’re describing and searching for ceramic film, it can be in any shade of darkness you’d like. The lower the %vlt number, the darker the tint. Example, 50%=nearly clear, 5%=very dark

Edit to add: I tinted windows as a yute. We used Suntek at the time but it’s pretty trash now 20 years later, Geoshield is what I’d recommend now.

Ceramic tint blocks the heat very well no matter what percent you get

Ceramic. It’s worth it.

Slightly hijacking the thread. My front windows came without tint. Rear factory tint isn’t ceramic.

Worthless to install ceramic on front windows or still helpful?

Install ceramic on the front and back. Have the shop put clear ceramic tint in the back and they won’t be any darker but will still block the heat.

Been looking into this for my F150, Going with 20% on passenger and driver side windows to match factory rear glass. Also doing 80% on windshield. All ceramic. Cost is around $550.
