Formula 1 Pinnacle tint

melissadb · 05-30-2011, 11:33 PM

I'm getting my windows tinted this weekend with the Formula 1 Pinnacle...Does anyone have this tint? I want to go 25% but I'm not sure if it will be too dark with my black interior. I tried to search for some pictures, but I didn't really see any.

Word of advice.. legal tint in Ontario is 35% for the front passenger and driver windows and rears can be as dark as you want

just a reminder.

I know

Not too worried. I have it booked now for 30% but wasn't sure if there would be much of a difference. It's hard to look at a picture and decide.

Would you mind sharing how much you're paying for the tints and where you are having it done? I am thinking of tinting mine sometime soon but I was thinking of Llumar films, not sure which one has better quality. Thanks.

it'll be hard to find pictures that really how what the tint will look like. depending on how much light is let through your windshield, the appearance of how dark it is will change dramatically.
i've had 20% done on pretty much every car i've ever owned.

I put on a month ago the Pinnacle 35% and find it comfortable. I'm generally happy with it but I could have gone darker.

I looked into a few places and the only place that would work around my schedule and do it on a weekend was Budds BMW. $400. I think it's supposed to be $499 regularly. They usually do the Classic line but i requested Pinnacle. I'm not too concerned with the cost. I just wanted somewhere where I'd have less hassle.

I decided to do 30%. Would really like to go darker but I'm just nervous about how dark it'll be at night.
Thanks for your help!
