XPEL XR Plus 80 VLT - does it have the blue hue?

Getting 80 VLT ceramic tint on a Carmine Red Porsche 911 Targa (sides + rear). Shop uses XPEL XR Plus.

I've seen threads about the blue hue on XR Plus at 35%, 55%, and 70%, but can't find anyone talking about it at 80 VLT specifically. At that shade is there any noticeable blue cast, or is the film too light for it to show?

Considering 3M Crystalline Black 80 as an alternative if the blue is an issue. Anyone compared the two at 80 VLT?

I want really light because my state doesn't allow too much tint

Sad story about relationship and Financial Independence

So I’ve been deep in the whole financial independence journey for ~1 decade now. At $4.2M in net worth. Started as a normal person working out of college and consistently investing over time. When I was 29, I met this girl who I thought was the one - checked all the boxes except she liked to spend more than I felt comfortable with because I was deep in the saving journey and wanted to reach at least millionaire status before loosening up. Spent around $1k/month on dates for the first few months but I had to cut it back to ~200-300/month for dates because I wasn’t saving enough and life in NYC was expensive. She broke up with me because she felt like I valued money over her. I explained to her I preferred budgeting so we can spend more intentionally and on this plan, we could retire by 40. She wasn’t having it.

Fast forward to today, at age 36, I am pretty close to fat FIRE and can obviously now spend the amount she wanted but I’m in another city where the dating opportunities are not as good. It’s like I traded one opportunity for another. I know I can just go out there and find another girlfriend, but it’s a lot of work and I haven’t found it a similar one that I’ve been as attracted to or have as close of a match to. Just wanted to get this off my chest because it’s unfortunate the financial independence goal had to have this trade off.

992.2 911 - can you display the actual Waze map in the instrument cluster?

For the new Porsche 911 with the fully digital instrument cluster: Can you display the actual Waze map inside the instrument cluster, or only the native Porsche navigation map?

Not just turn-by-turn directions - I mean the real Waze map rendering itself in the gauge cluster.
I saw videos/posts showing this working on the new Porsche Macan EV, but I haven’t really seen anyone show it on the 992.2 911 yet, so I wanted to check whether the functionality is actually there or not.

Trying to understand whether:

  1. Waze map can fully appear in the cluster
  2. only Apple Maps works there
  3. or only Porsche native navigation supports full map display

911 Targa 4? (not 4S)

For the 992.1 generation, they made the Targa 4 in addition to the 4S. Does anyone know if they'll also make the Targa 4 for the 992.2 generation? I like the 4 because it's slightly lower power, which can make it fun to rev higher and it's lower priced too, which is a good benefit given all the price increases
