R56 Getting tint tomorrow. Opinions?
What is the front windows at? they don't appear to be the same. If thats 20, looks almost like my 35% I have on all windows. Looks good though! Just curious.
Thread hijack!
I tried to get the local tint shop to limo tint my sunroof, but they said they don't do that anymore. Something about how tint is designed to reflect sunlight from an angle, not straight on, and that the angle of sunlight to the roof reflects too much heat, causing the glass to shatter.
They refused to tint the sunroof glass!
On the other hand, it was my MA that suggested the limo tint in the first place!

Whatever percentage you decide on, I'd go the same way all around. I personally prefer a consistent tint all around and having darker tints in the back and rear windshield breaks up the overall look; consider how SUVs and minivans look with their darker back ends.
I double layered tint, top layer is Limo, the guy rated it at 2-3% all the way around!
Check and see if the back windows already have a factory tint, if so, think about if you are going to layer over, or have it removed. Do the fronts have window treatment? As for the sunroof...na uh IMO.
... I was advised against it because of the direct hit of the sun may not allow it to settle right. hows about a darker shade? should do the same thing

BTW, Im in the car...
I also have a 5% windshield strip. Most states, the law is to the AS1 line or some set of inches, whichever is shorter...AZ is just the AS1 line, and My MINI doesnt have one
When I have to get a new windshield (a few rock chips and AZ has free glass) I want to do 70% down the windshield with the 5% strip.

Just my .02

it's just the angle of the shot that makes it look lighter
