Hi all, I know it is not much of a "mod" but I seriously cannot have a car without tint. Especially here during the HOT Southern California summers. I just thought I would share some of my Before and After pictures with you all. I used a 20% charcoal/smokey look tint on the rear windows and a 35 on the fronts. I'm loving the visual difference tint can make!
If anyone is interested, I REALLY recommend this shop. I also had my '00 Mercedes CLK430 tinted there.

BEFORE




AFTER

 

see the little "glow" around the black area of the back windows? thats caused by the black dots from the OEM window finish. you can push on them with your finger from the inside so that they are less visible. best to do it while the tint is still fresh.

 

Good idea. I'll do it first thing tomorrow. I wanted to give the windows at least 1 day to dry before I rolled them down or pushed the tint to the dots.

 

good call. look like a good job. how much and where?

 

Took about 2-3 hours to complete and dry. The owner of the shop does all the work himself. He is the most honest business owner I've ever met, real personable and gives really good recommendations. It was 200 out of the door. Lifetime guarantee against fading and peeling, etc. I'm a repeat customer - would never think about going anywhere else!

great price. did he do the sunroof too?

 

I wish, I asked him about it but he wouldn't do it..? Do you know why?

 

used to be reports of sunroofs shattering due to heat build up when tinted. ive had mine tinted for 3 years and no problems :fingerscrossed:

 

Get these:

you'll be happy you did

 

bmwg84,
I'm in Orange County, too. Appreciate the tint reference! I'll likely go to Chris!

Thanks!

 

looks great .... anyone knosw of tint shop in CT?

 

Ditto

Nice hat bro

Also, I've had tinting on my sunroof in Phoenix/Las Vegas for the past 3.5 years with no issues so far (...goes and knocks on wood...)

 

That's not me ... lol That's the owner of the shop doing final inspections before releasing the car to me

 

looks good but post belongs in exterior/interior section unless your making HP gain claims

 

damn....you beat me

 

sorry guys, I didn't realize.. maybe a moderator can move this thread?

 

question, i got scratches on the driver's side window and ding on the windsheild, should i try to repair it before tinting, or will it not matter?
