**LOTUS EMIRA – SUN CONTROL FILMS (WINDOW TINT)**
**PROTINT:**
Protect your Lotus Emira's driver-focused cockpit and enhance its striking mid-engine proportions with premium automotive sun control films. As Lotus's final internal combustion sports car—a spiritual successor to the Elise, Exige, and Evora—the Emira combines lightweight bonded aluminum chassis with a supercharged V6 (or Mercedes-AMG four-cylinder) powerplant. Its sculpted bodywork, expansive glass engine cover, and driver-centric cabin deserve protection that honors this British icon.

| **PaulP** | 'My wife has ceramic on her windshield (and all other windows)... Her car is markedly cooler than mine to the point she doesn't put up a sunblocker. I notice nothing at all visual on the front in terms of clarity.' |

**PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:**
**Critical Emira Protection Zones:**
| Area | Consideration |
|------|---------------|
| **Engine Cover Glass** | Large, curved glass panel – requires precision cutting; factory privacy glass option covers this area at 24.5% VLT |
| **Quarter Windows** | Small fixed windows behind doors – included in privacy glass option |
| **Front Windscreen** | Large, curved surface – clear ceramic recommended for HUD/rain sensor compatibility |
| **Door Windows** | Frameless design – requires careful edge sealing |
| **Rear Window** | Heated element – defroster-safe film required |
**Installation Best Practices:**
- Professional dust-free environment required for bubble-free installation
- Computer-cut patterns for perfect fitment around sensors
- Allow 24-48 hours curing time
- No window rolling for 3-7 days post-installation
- No rear defroster for 30 days to prevent bubbling near heating lines

| Feature | Factory Privacy Glass | Aftermarket Ceramic Tint |
|---------|----------------------|--------------------------|

| **VLT** | 24.5% (fixed) | Customizable (5%, 20%, 35%, 50%, 70% options) |

| **Cost** | Included in build price | Additional after-delivery expense |
