Sparkling Graphite with 3M 20% tint

CC 330i · 08-04-2005, 11:23 AM

Ok, so this is for those of you that want to know what 3M 20% looks like. GREAT shop in Santa Barbara did this for me. Only the back 3 windows and price was in the low $200s.

Sorry about the overcast day, but it's June/July gloom up here on the coast.

I got 20% too but your tints look darker. I'll take some pics tomorrow (if sunny). It's been raining for the past week here.

tint the front window to...it looks a little weird, nice car tho

Well, it may look darker because it was overcast. The nice thing about it is that you can just barely see in to the car, and there is no problem seeing out at all, even at night.

I am not going to tint the front windows because I have had too many tickets for this in the past. I hate paying for something that I then have to pay to remove or spend 2 hours scrubbing the windows!

Overcast or not, your car looks great. I love the SG and tint job.

SG plus tints is sick.

I agree, gotta tint the front windows too.

Thank you.... I agree that maybe it doesn't look as good without the fronts tinted, but I just saw someone get pulled over on the 101 today with tinted fronts on their pickup, and I guarantee they will be getting a fix-it ticket.

Tell you what... I will get the fronts tinted and take a picture if you reimburse me for the ticket and tint removal...

Please try and take some photo's in the sun! I had my car tinted today with 20% all round and it looks so light...alot lighter then my old car with 20% looked. It might be the light interior...(my old car had grey) but I want to check they didn't mess up and give me 35% instead!

I will try to do that tonight. (If it is still sunny when I get home, that is). It's nice and sunny now anyway, but I don't have my camera with me.
