Just saw a picture of a Mini with "35% tint" and it seems that this was done at the dealership, not the manufacturer. Looked good. How is this done? Please tell me it's not some stick-on stuff like I've seen before. I can't quite picture the process of tinting. Someone tell me....and how much can this cost???

 

Yes it's stick on stuff, and they send it out to a shop for it, but I can't remember what I paid for it. I like it, but had to stick on yearly stickers for my condo parking and when I tried to peel off the old one with a razor, I ended up peeling off part of the tint too.

 

Actually the dealer is just he middle man, they usually outsource it to tint shops and charge you twice as much... My dealer wanted initially $350 for the job but I declined since a reputable tint shop will do it for $175.

 

It depends where you are. The Vegas dealership included it with the $2,500 upcharge from MSRP. Generous of them. We got my wife's car tinted at on sale for $169 with a 10 year guarantee. Very happy with it.
