AW 128i with ceramic tint 15%

hansenc · 07-10-2008, 01:18 PM

Will have better pictures Saturday after wash and wax but I wanted to show off this tint job!!!

Wow very nice. Your lucky, in Wisc we can't have tint on the front windows. Alpine looks fantastic with tint. LUCKY.

Thanks Steve!

I don't think I could live in a state that didn't allow tint on a vehicle. FL doesn't allow 15% on the front two windows. I'm hoping it doesn't cause an issue with any LEO. Time will tell.

Which brand ceramic did you end up going with? Huper Optik?

WOW that's dark, but looks good on AW...:smile: is it legal for you in your location to have 15% ??

1st pic makes it look 'milky' is that just reflection ??

How does ceramic compare to metalised in terms of heat/glare reduction properties ??

TIA. :smile:

I think you're parked too close to whoever owns the (gay) Jetta, but other than that lookin good.

Thanks!, no its not legal here in FL. 25% I believe is legal.

Its not milky I think its just the reflection from the clouds.

I'm not sure on the heat/glare reduction. I got it to not risk interfering with the CA system.

Thanks! I'm hoping it doesn't cause any issues...

Yeah she parked too close to me! She comes up to the office and was like "I parked a little close to you but was too lazy to repark I hope you dont mind." Doesn't really matter, no one is getting in my passenger side and no one was getting into hers.

Nice tint

Looks real good man...I just hope that 15% doesn't come back to bite ya. Lots of cops around lately and let me know how bad that tint is at night vision wise, and when its raining im curious.

Enjoy
