2) I'm iffy on how blacklines look on electric red. Am I feeling this?

imho...

do 35% all around (or 50% if you want to be lighter). don't do the mixing of %'s for front and back windows, it's going to look funky. as said, since you have beige interior, the tint is not going to look as dark. i had 35% on both my old e34 with beige interior and my e90 with black interior. the e34 definitely looked lighter. if you're concerned, roll around with the moon roof uncovered. that's what i do most of the time unless it's super hot outside. i had 3m on the e34 and madico charcool on the e90. if i was to do it over again, i'd pay more and go for a ceramic tint, such as huper optik, for better heat protection. just don't do a metallic tint or you're going to have issues with your radio, cell phone, comfort access, etc...

go for the black lines! i think it looks good on any color. a huge improvement over the stock tails.

I have the F1 pinnacle ceramic. It stays cooler then metallic. Worth the extra $$$ IMO.

Hey man. I'm Kalim. I don't have an E9X, but I do have an E30 and this is the E30 chapter of e90post.com so I guess they let me stick around.

Say hi to Darwin and Jastein for me.

Hey cab, how is the F1 pinnacle? I was thinking about that. Also, how much did it cost you?

F1 is really good. Girly always says your car stays way cooler after being park in the sun for a while compared to her car. No thigh and ass roasting getting in the car. We did a group buy on m3post thru rocky mountain tint in Livermore. I believe it was close to 400. As long as it's ceramic should be all about the same. Heard good things about the huper optik as well.

Joonsup · 05-13-2010, 11:49 PM

either go to vince at omega or vince at omega. i have 50 percent all around and black interior. but you need to call and make appointment ahead of time b/c he's always booked.
