That is dark. You sure on the windshield though? Just trying to get you to think before you do it

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 08:15 PM

i've thought about it, i'm not 100% yet but the sides and rear will be dark.

You will be "murdered out" with all those mods. Love it!! I know you don't like talking about your rims but what finish did you go with?

Imagine that on the front

Even 50% for that matter

CubanJJ09 · 03-08-2009, 08:34 PM

first off po powill never let tint on the windshield slide. especially on a car that has front tints.

check that maybe locals, but not state

They hassle guys around here all the time

CubanJJ09 · 03-08-2009, 08:37 PM

i was thinking about gettin like 50 maybe even lighter just to have them. but i already dont have a front plate, plus ill prob get a speeding ticket. i dont wanna pile it on for myself.

ntpcrew13 · 03-08-2009, 08:41 PM

my e90 was done by sunset tinting in woodridge. they did a pretty good job on my car, but an ok job one of my buddies car. i think i know of 4 people that have brought it there. i brought the e61 to umbra tinting in arlington heights. he did a great job on the wagon. i would recommend him overall. i know of a few others on this forum that have brought their cars to him as well.

CubanJJ09 · 03-08-2009, 08:44 PM

yea umbra makes the shit look so easy like "why am i paying you when i could do it" he did the tints on my tails too. i knew that shit had to be a PITA

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 08:52 PM

pretty reasonable as far as pricing goes?

ntpcrew13 · 03-08-2009, 08:57 PM

yea the pricing was pretty good. i dont remember off hand how much it was, but it was definitely cheaper than sunset tinting in woodridge. plus he had to do 2 extra windows since it was a wagon. i was actually gonna ask him to do my stock tails also, but decided it wasnt really necessary since i have blacklines. i was just going to get them done to get them done. i actually asked nino(umbratinting) about the vinyl overlay for the window trim and he said he could do it, but he said he couldnt warranty it for life like the window tint. i told him that i would just give him a call back if i wanted to get it done since i had the wagon and not my car. i havent had the chance to go back since its kind of a hike for me.

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 08:58 PM

looks like i'm making a call tomorrow

ntpcrew13 · 03-08-2009, 09:02 PM

just like cubanjj said... bare with him when you talk to him on the phone. haha. everything should work out.

Nebster · 03-08-2009, 09:04 PM

thanks guys

I've found that having multiple infractions gives you some negotiation power, as long as you have some negotiating skills.....unless you've been drinking or are

Feel free to jump in on the bs going on in the other thread!

I got mine done in Joliet by Precision Tinting. I went with the Huper Optik (Ceramic) and it came out great. I'd recommend the premium tint unless you have CA, since it's cheaper, dries faster, and does a better job on the dot matrix. They did a good job on my dot matrix, but I learned from a post on the M3 forum that the best way to do it is to put black tape over it.

Precision Tinting
Quoted prices for e92:
