With more and more Tesla Model 3's being on the road and in consumers hands since the release of the Standard Range Model, we have seen an increase in inquiries about Paint Issues, Manufacturing Issues, and Protection Options. Let's start off by saying it is not uncommon to find many factory issues in your new Tesla's paint, defects such as paint chips, etchings, dirt nibs, burn spots, and sanding marks are all common things.. unfortunately. Combined with Tesla using an environmentally friendly paint system which is more susceptible to damage than older paint systems. This Tesla Model 3 had 1,500 miles, it required a few hours of machine polishing to remove bug staining and had already accumulated a number of paint chips.

Our customer wanted to prevent further damage from occurring during its frequent daily driving. After some research and viewing of our competitors installation quality our customer decided on us and STEK DYNOshield to be installed on his vehicle! This Tesla Model 3 received our Drivers Package Paint Protection Film. Our Drivers Package is our most popular package that protects all of the high impact areas on a car. By applying Paint Protection Film to the Full Front end of the vehicle and adding the rocker panels and rear wheel impact areas, the vehicle is now covered from rocks and rubber that may be thrown up by its own tires during a spirited driving session or track day. This package is tailored for sports/exotic car protection. This package gives the enthusiast a worry-free driving experience on the road or on the track.

- Full Hood

- Full Fenders

- Front Bumper

- Mirrors

- Headlights and Foglights

- Rocker Panels

We start the Paint Protection Film install by removing the Tesla "T" crest on the Hood so we can seamlessly wrap the hood without a seam around the emblem. The "T" is then replaced with an OEM part from Tesla and reinstalled using a 3D Printed Alignment Tool. The Hood is Protected in a Bulk Sheet of DYNOshield for a true custom cut install that is wrapped over every edge so it is protected without seeing it!

The Fenders on the Model 3 are installed utilizing a Modified Computer Cut Pattern, we modify these patterns in house to fit our installation style and standards. This Patterns allow us to line up key components that cannot be wrapped without major disassembly like around the headlights, but gives us enough film to wrap and tuck into all exterior edges for further protection and undetectable installation!

Top 5 Benefits of Professional Window Tinting in Naples for Daily Commuters

By SEO Team • March 31, 2025

Daily commuting in Naples, Florida, is more than just a routine—it’s a journey through sun-drenched highways, occasional traffic congestion, and endless exposure to the elements. If you're one of the many who spend hours in your car each week, you know how essential comfort and protection are to your drive. That’s where professional window tinting comes in. Far from just a cosmetic upgrade, window tinting is a smart investment that improves your vehicle's performance, comfort, and security. Let’s dive into the top five reasons why Naples commuters are turning to expert tinting services—and why Naples Auto Armour is the name to trust. 1. UV Protection and Skin Safety The Florida sun is no joke. While sunshine is part of what makes Naples so beautiful, constant exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can have serious consequences—for both your skin and your car. Professional window tinting blocks up to 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, reducing your risk of skin damage, premature aging, and long-term health concerns. For daily commuters who spend 30 minutes to an hour in the car each way, this added layer of protection can make a huge difference over time. Plus, blocking UV rays means you're not just protecting yourself—you’re also preserving your passengers’ health, especially for families with young children or anyone with sun sensitivity. 2. Enhanced Driving Comfort and Temperature Control Anyone who’s gotten into a parked car during a Naples summer knows the blast of hot air that comes with it. Even during your morning or evening commute, the heat can build up quickly inside your vehicle. Window tinting reflects a significant portion of solar energy, keeping your car cooler and more comfortable—especially during peak traffic hours. The result? Reduced reliance on your air conditioning system, which can improve fuel efficiency and lessen wear on your A/C components. For commuters stuck in stop-and-go traffic or idling at long red lights along U.S. 41 or Immokalee Road, this comfort upgrade is a game changer. 3. Increased Privacy and Security Commuters often have personal items in their vehicles—laptops, gym bags, groceries, and more. Unfortunately, a car parked at the office or grocery store can attract unwanted attention if its interior is fully visible. Window tinting adds a discreet level of privacy, making it harder for potential thieves to see what’s inside. And even when you’re on the road, that extra layer gives you peace of mind knowing your belongings aren’t on display. For drivers navigating downtown Naples or parking at crowded beach lots, professional tinting offers that added sense of security we all appreciate. 4. Glare Reduction for Safer Driving Ever been caught in that blinding Naples sunset heading west on Golden Gate Parkway or U.S. 41? Glare from the sun—or even headlights from oncoming traffic—can significantly impair your visibility and reaction time. High-quality window tinting reduces glare by softening harsh light, allowing for clearer, more comfortable views of the road. This makes a major difference in both daytime and nighttime driving, especially during early morning and late afternoon commutes when the sun is low on the horizon. Better visibility = better safety. It’s that simple. 5. Preserving Interior Quality Over Time Long-term exposure to direct sunlight doesn’t just heat up your cabin—it slowly deteriorates the materials inside your vehicle. Leather seats can dry out and fade, dashboards can crack, and upholstery can lose its vibrancy. Professional window tinting acts like sunscreen for your car’s interior. By filtering out harsh UV rays and excess heat, it helps keep your cabin materials in better condition for longer. This not only improves your daily experience but can also help maintain your vehicle’s resale value. For Naples residents who take pride in their vehicles, this benefit alone makes window tinting well worth it. Why Choose Professional Installation Over DIY?
