Tesla Model Y Window Tinting with Habercamp Ceramic Bond
For Tesla Model Y owners in Daejeon, South Korea, seeking premium window tinting, the Habercamp Ceramic Bond film offers a compelling option.

With over 500,000 installations logged by the installer, 'Ojun-ui Ka' (Today's Car), you can expect verified insights into the service. The owner of this white Model Y opted for this specific tint and Paint Protection Film (PPF) after careful consideration, including viewing film samples and seeing them applied to a staff vehicle. This hands-on approach is crucial for making an informed decision about car window tint.
Habercamp Ceramic Bond Film Features and Installation
The Habercamp Ceramic Bond film is praised for its exceptional clarity, providing a clear, almost 'naked glass' view that reduces driver fatigue. For this Model Y, a 40% tint was applied to the windshield, 20% to the front doors, and 5% to the rear sides and back. This gradient offers a balance between privacy and excellent visibility. The film's weight and color complement the Model Y's aesthetic, ensuring a sophisticated look that endures over time. A key feature of this ceramic tint is its polarization capability, which enhances visibility in bright or reflective conditions, particularly beneficial during nighttime driving. The installation utilizes the 'shaving' technique, where the film is precisely cut to the very edge of the glass for a seamless, factory-installed appearance. This meticulous installation process is a hallmark of quality window tinting.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) for Added Durability
Beyond window tinting, PPF was applied to critical areas of the Model Y. This transparent urethane film shields the car's paint from minor scratches and daily wear. Specific areas protected included the door edges, the lower rear skid plate (essential for preventing chips from road debris), the charging port area, and the headlights/daytime running lights. This comprehensive PPF application helps maintain the vehicle's pristine condition, adding to the overall value and longevity of the car's exterior.
Installation Process:
- Thorough inspection and cleaning of all glass surfaces.
- Precise cutting of the Habercamp Ceramic Bond film to match the exact contours of each window.
- Careful application of the film to the interior of the glass, ensuring no air bubbles or imperfections.
- 'Shaving' the film edges for a perfect, seamless fit against the glass.
- Inspection and final detailing of the tinted windows.
The total cost for the Habercamp Ceramic Bond tinting and PPF package on this Tesla Model Y, including VAT, was approximately 1.05 million Korean Won (around $750-$800 USD, depending on exchange rates), with a limited-time discount applied. The installation process typically takes a few hours.
