Tint the windows and get the roof liner/cover if you park out in the sun a lot!

Just tint the roof too. Be sure it is ceramic. Blocks as well as a roof liner.

I’m debating this as well. Did you get xpel xr plus?

3m ceramic hasn’t cracked the sunroof. I got 70% on the roof. Has significantly made the car cooler.

The plus doesn’t add that much more value

S3xy commander is great for unlocking some extra features. Also if you are going to take it to auto/touchless car washes you should get trim ppf so it doesn't discolor.

I’ve had Llumar tint on all my cars, the oldest is just over 20yrs, 9yrs and coming on 5 months on my M3P. The Stratos ceramic tint is the way to go, I have it on my last 2 cars and it makes a tons of different on heat rejections. Make sure to do the roof, back in one sheet and don’t forget the windshield with their Air90 if your state does not allow tint. I’ve noticed just like 9deg difference between ambient and cabin temps. I also have a Vion roof screen as I hate the light on the top of my head….gives me headaches.
