TINT Film Advise

chopsinblack · 03-08-2010, 06:47 PM

I just got my new 2010 335i Sedan, its Black Sapphire with Oyster Interior!

Im planning on putting 20% tint on all four windows and the rear.
Thats what I had on my 2008 335i black/black.

There are different brands of film... what do you recommend:

MADICO
LLUMAR
FORMULA 1

Any opinions or advice?
Thanks!

ive seen both madico and llumar tint... they both seem pretty good i guess. i'm not sure why exactly your picking a tint unless the shop you plan to go to carries all three types.

i'd tell you just to go to a reputable shop and use whatever tint they sell. usually they use a particular brand because they feel that it gives them the results that both they and the customer wants

Any reputable tint mfg will make a quality film. It really just comes down to whether you want dyed or ceramic film. You need a darker dyed film to achieve the same level of IR and UV protection as a ceramic film. But given your % choice, you're just doing it for looks. In that case, it really doesn't matter what you put on as long as it comes from a big reputable mfg. They usually come with a warranty anyway.
