Default Tint and A-Pillar Wrap

All, I'm having dropping the Defender for two small items in the next couple weeks.
  1. Wrapping the A-Pillars
    • my car is Hakuba, and of my silver brethren wrapped theres? Share pics!
    • Matt or gloss? I'm conflicted
  2. Front window tint
    • We spend most summer weekends at the beach, where the car lives outside
    • My objective is sun/heat protection, rather than aesthetics (will use a windshield reflector, but still want to do the windows for full protection)
    • Who has tinted the fronts? What % tint? Share pics!

I wrapped the front of the Defender up to the doors, the. Had them continue the wrap along the bottom trim to protect from rock chips (x-dynamic so glossy lower trim). I’m a big fan of the matte wraps but you’d need to do the entire car vs just the front. I think matte always looks good though!

We tinted our front windows 35% (legal here in MA). It looks sharp but also helps me a lot with the sun while driving.

Perfect. Thanks for sharing. I'll likely go with 35% as well.

35 % as well on Eiger Gray. Wrapped the a pillar in gloss, but sheen is not as high as the roof. Decent match however
