My tinted E90.....come in and take a look

Got my car last Friday, tinted the car on Monday. I used Suntek Carbon 45 (43% visibility), according to the installer, b/c of the carbon material in the film, it makes the tint looks darker than regular films with 43%.

What do you guys think of the tint? Good, bad, too light, too dark? Let me know.

The tint job is perfect, its quality work. The all-around tint costs me $250 total. The one I had is carbon based film, so cost $50 more than regular one. It was done by a shop in San Bruno, a very reputable shop here in the bay. If you need info of hte shop, let me know.

Love it! Looks HOTT!

I have 35% (legal limit) in front, 5% in back. My last 3 vehicles have had this configuration so I am used to it; yes, even at night.

That will likely be my next BMW, configured just like that. I even like the wheels. Love the color and options. As for the tint, I like yours. On mine I will go 20% all around.

Can you let me know where in San Bruno you got it done. I'm looking for a reputable shop as well....and was it $250 including labor, that seems pretty reasonable.

Hmmm. Side markers are clear. Interesting. Did you change them or were they stock.

Is Carbon non interfering with your electronics? Does all your electronics work OK now after the tint?

Someday I would like to see your car in person. I have something similar in order.

No, carbon would not interfer with my electronics, that's why I paid $50 more for it. My electronics work the same after the tint, no problem at all.
