I called someone to install it and they told me 35% is ceramics (that's what I was also going to get)

Revartr · 09-15-2014, 03:12 PM

I'm planning on doing 20% sides and rear, 70% windshield.

You make sure all they use is ceramics, anything with metallic will affect comfort access, radio and perhaps the nav

Yeah I'm pretty sure they put 3m ceramic on both my e9x's. Looked great and never had an issue w/ my CA.

I want to buy new Maui Jims but I'm afraid they are going to ruin my HUD. lol (all MJ are Polarized)

i did 20% all around, except for windshield which i left stock

RingMeister01 · 09-15-2014, 04:00 PM

This would be a quality thread with pics.

Joz132 · 09-15-2014, 04:05 PM

How is not?

F80_M · 09-15-2014, 04:28 PM

In Florida it's the best idea ever

thebishman · 09-15-2014, 04:31 PM

30% Llumar Ceramic side and back windows. Looks great especially on an AW car.

I have MW on SO. And keeping it without tints for now. Like the way the color of the seats pop out. Might do a light tint.

I'm sure they did or else it would've interfere with the car and other gadgets.

What's Maui Jim's lol? Is it sunglasses?

TheRealOrosie · 09-15-2014, 04:57 PM

35% ceramic all around (no windshield tint).

My M4 has 80% windshield and 30% on the rest. Used SolarGard made by Saint-Gobain, which is the same company that makes the windows on my M4.

I've never had tinting done, but I would consider it with the F80.

The PA laws are 70% all around (http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms...ets/fs-sun.pdf).

Windshield tint is illegal in every single state, to my knowledge (or at least used to, back when I used to tint windows during the summers between semesters). So is side window tint under 35% in most states. Point?
