Last minute decision!!

Okay I just need some opinion on tinting. I have an AW E90 and thinking of tinting the windows. I have the black interior so I was wondering how it would look with tint. Any recommendation on how many %.

There is this tint place called California Auto Tint. They specialize in exotics and do work on those for many dealers. It would cost me $375 to do the whole car. They will give me a "diamond warranty" so that if my windows ever get broken, they will tint it for free. They also offer lifetime warranty on the tint.

On the other hand, a friend's friend has a shop and he can do it for $200. They dont offer the diamond warranty but they do offer lifetime warranty. Seems like a no brainer but sometimes i prefer quality over cheap price. My friend says they do will do a good job there but im hesitating. ANy comment before I go get it done???

White cars always look good with dark tint IMHO. $200 sounds good for tinting your car but, getting free retint if your window is broken is good too. I would go with the cheaper one though because how often do you plan on your windows getting broken. I think you can afford to pay for the tint on one window. The choice is yours though, good luck.

$375 is way too much, as is $200.

I honestly forgot how much I paid, lol. I'm pretty sure it was $150, which is still too much, but, eh.

The place I took my car to, they tint cars for dealers, so I knew I could trust them. The owner is also a friend of my uncle's, so he had experience with them. I also have a lifetime warranty.

Anyway, I don't know about San Jose, and how much people do it there. Just take it to someone you know you can trust, and someone who will give you a warranty.

Go for 5% all around. I would've, but the cops in my city are posted up on every block. Glendale is horrible when it comes to cops.
