Mini-Rolls, I got my MCS tinted a week ago and I, too, was very satisfied with the results. I thought I went pretty dark, but it looks like you may have gone darker than me. I did 20 in front, and 15 on the back 3 windows. Not legal, but boy does it look good. BTW, I'm in WA also....Seattle area. See ya on the road!

looks great!
i got my tint done the first week i got my PW/B.
i can't imagine the car without the tint, it makes the car look so much more complete!
enjoy!

b.t.w. the only drawback is keeping them clean! you'll see what i mean soon!

That definately looks nice! Tint is going to be the first thing I have done when my MINI arrives :smile:

Thanks for the pics!

Not only does the tint look great, but that paint/wax job looks amazing! The reflections in the dark VR are fantastic. Nice work and congrats!

Are any of folks in fear of being pulled over? I still plan on tinting mine 20% in the rears and 35% in the fronts, hopefully no cops pay attention.

The cops do not pay attention to the tint. My neighbor is a State Trooper and he thinks it looks good also. BTW, his truck is tinted

Sweet! Can't wait to see it in person. I went 30% sides and 25% in back. I could have gone darker but the "Tint Experts" said it would have to be a cash deal if I wanted to go darker. I decided I would not push it. I'm already going without a leagle front plate.

Did you do the front band at the top of the windsheild? I didn't at first. I went a couple of months and just decided to tint it last week.

Does tinting your windows make it more difficult to see in the night?
Lef me know as I am thinking about having this done.
Thanks

^^Are ypu asking if it is more difficult to see out of the car at night? No, it is just a little darker on the inside.

If you are asking if it more difficult to see inside? they dependson the % of tint used. It is harder to see inside my car at anytime but you can.
