Looks fantastic. It is amazing how tint can change the look of your vehicle.

Looks great. That's also the first time I've seen a contrasting scoop that I thought worked, too.

Yes he said it was from the little dots mini has on the glass. It bridges over them and gives that look. He said he could stay off of them but would leave a untinted edge around the tint or go over it which he recommended since it would be totally tinted from inside view. You don't see any silver from inside. It looks perfect inside.

The tint looks perfect, and I'm not a tint type guy. I must agree with St_G on the hood scoop.

Looks good. I hate driving a car that is not tinted, feel like i'm driving in a fish bowl.

The tint really helps accentuate the wraparound glass look. Nice looking ride.
