and clarity from the inside! What % are you going with Mantis? With JB, I might go 15%. Check out Clean3's first though. He's has F1 15% I have F1 35%. Tustin meet. keke.

Cool. Make sure the tint place you go thru is an Authorized Dealer unless you absolutely get a LOW LOW price.

so can you guys help me out with the wheels?

i want something that isnt chrome, has no chrome lip (with exception of hammann reps), preferably a dark wheel, either looks kinda like CSL or 5-spoke (the 5 spoke could be staggered like my G35's wheels, i still consider that 5-spoke)

i dont wanna spend too much either

Nice! The ceramic film isn't cheap.

Formula One Pinnacle comes in 15% 35% 50%.
Huper Optik Ceramic comes in 60 50 40 30. From what I hear, HO is very thick and a bit difficult. Even if your cousin is seasoned, it might give him a hard time his first time using it. At least that is what I've read from the professional tinters' forum.

I can't think of much outside of reps. There's CHs that would work but fitment is a problem.

You gotta pay to play.

John is pretty spot on w/ his tint.
the Huper (which i used on my G) was pretty thick and hard to work with but experienced tinters will do a great job. There aren't too many authorized dealers around, though.

I've never had F1 pinnacle put on, but I may be willing to try it this time around

FWIW BBS LM

If you need pricing on volks, hit me up, I'll see if I can help you out.

Only problem with the volks, is the wait time has been ridiculous
