Tint Q
 

Just called a few tint shops trying to find a good one to match my two front windows to the privacy glass in the back.

2 shops said they only care Lumar with lifetime warranties.

Another said they carry 2 brands (one is Formula 1) and there are 8 different grades of film between the 2 brands.

Any thoughts if the shops that carry only Lumar are credible or if Form. 1 is a good brand?

FORMULA 1... You will find its more expensive, but its way better than Llumar's metallized film...

Heres a link and some pics to a guy in e90post.com who got his tints with them.

Thanks! I'll go with F1 over Lumar and post pics when I can.

That's got me thinking.

Do most of the members on here have tinted windows on their X5's? Does it enhance the look of the car?

Cheers. :thumbup:

My X's rears come with provacy glass. I slapped tints all around 20%. It made the rears as dark as 5% and the fronts 20% Nice contrast and still legal. SORTA.

It definately enhances the look. But if I were to do it again, I'd choose my film differently, and most definately the installer.
