Getting my windows tinted tomorrow!

Tomorrow I'm tinting my side windows 35% pinnacle and 15% back.

I got quoted $331 including tax. Good deal?

I have black interior so hopefully it'll block out a lot of heat!

I'll post pictures once it gets done

Whats F1? A kind of paper?

I'll get mine done for $200 tx included. Those guys did my previous civic and after 5 years there was no peeling, bubbling or anything.

F1 is a kind of tint....who are "those guys"? And your sentence doesn't make sense as your referring to the future and talking about the past....

OP, I would also check out the window scratching issue....you can get felt installed on the rubber seal that traps debris causing the scratching over time. Not sure if BMW has fixed this yet but I can see it happening on my '06 330xi, no tints.

i have tints and they are scratched up i forgot what material they were but the shop didn't install felt on them. I paid about $200 for getting all windows done except the windshield. I don't really mind the scratches as long as I don't have peeling or bubbles then I am happy and I haven't had either.

I ended up going with the Forumla One Classic 35% all around, 15% back window. It came out to $169 after tax. I'm pretty pleased with the job and it really adds a look to the car! Pictures tomorrow...it's too dark to see anything :P
