As far as the rest, I know its subjective, but I don't sterotype functional add-ons. The visor cuts down a lot on the wind noise, which, without it to me is unbearable. The moldings help in case someone accidentally taps someone else's car while getting out of mine. What about the pin-stripe?  |

Tinting looks great...excellent choice!
Mudflaps look ok. They are very, very practical and useful...so IMO, they are good. Wind deflector is useful, but looks pretty bad. Pinstripes and black rubber door mouldings are something that my Grandma has on her 1985 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. No offense dude, but what were you thinking?  Tacky & cheap! |

The first thing I noticed was what appeared to be larger gaps on the lower parts of your doors (my monitor is real dark).
I believe that the intent of the BMW approach is generally a clean and minimalist approach to design. I understand why you added those items, but will have to agree that the door moldings look totally out of place and cheapen the car. They seem as functional as those stick-on key-hole protectors you can buy at Pep Boys, Auto-Zone or K-Mart. They're fine on Grandpa's Oldsmobile, but not on your nice BMW. I'm not a huge fan of the mudflaps, pinstriping or even the air deflector to be honest, but this is all subjective and not everyone will agree with me. Thank you for sharing your new tint photos!

I consider Huper Optik the best window tint company out there. How much did you pay for it? The mudflaps don't look bad at all, but I just don't like the look of the pinstripe(maybe because I'm not used to seeing them on e90s) and sun visor.

Installed for $96 (with tax & adhesive included) by Open Road BMW. They wouldn't give me a loaner, but they drove me home & picked me up with their own 3 Series when it was finished. |

The Art of Tint Yes, the back window was one piece....cost me $375 plus tax. Yeah, I know its pricey, but the only other guy in my area that does Huper is in PA, and he wouldn't negotiate. |

What I like about it is that when its sunny out its not overly obvious that your front windows are tinted, so cops don't seem to be picking up on it; at least not yet, anyway. Last thing I need is a freakin' ticket.  |
