35% 3M Tint Done

CJ421 · 04-23-2011, 01:49 PM

Just got my tint done - 3M Color Stable, 35% sides, 20% rear windscreen. Can't roll my windows down for a few days, naturally.

I have a JBSpeed painted M3 spoiler on the way. Other than that, I have no other mods planned ATM.

Enjoy!

Edit: Added a side shot and a roundel shot for kicks.

looks great. Still deciding how dark to go when my AW 335i gets here in a few weeks. Im thinking maybe 35% on driver/passenger, and 18% the rest

Looks good.

Tinting my Montego next week. How about a straight side shot? I'm trying to decide how dark to go (although my creme interior will look lighter than your black).

Other than the spoiler, your ride needs nothing more*. Gorgeous!

(*although...I'd love to see the new Arkym front lip on Le Mans. I'll give ya a dollar!

looks good but the dotmatrix on the passanger window needs major work done..

rockyu · 04-23-2011, 04:02 PM

Clean!

michaelalex17 · 04-23-2011, 04:06 PM

the dot matrix on the doors looks like shit

CJ421 · 04-23-2011, 05:16 PM

I was able to get rid of most of the dot matrix stuff fortunately, just about all filled in now. Little bit of elbow grease fixes everything.

I'll see what it looks like in a couple days, the tint is 19 hours old at this point.

I have ceramics on my car and optically it is totally diff from the regular metallic tint. I noticed when I used my polarized sunglasses. I would get a reflective colorish like color from the old metallic tint. Nothing with the ceramics.
