E92 M3 Tinting

Hi everyone

Shopping around for window tinting prices for my E92 M3 Coupe.

Can anyone tell me what the RRP might be and where I can get this done in Melbourne?

Because they do them all the time I just had Stillwell's organise it on pre delivery to save the hassle. They or whoever they had do it did a great job!

So true! and great photo.

What's the rough cost? I've not tinted any of my cars in the past so no clue on cost.

Not too sure what extra I paid for the tint, maybe $250?

Would you like me to cruise up the road later & ask Paris for you

Too late my friend, we've already talked. It's $695 darkest legal tint (black) and lifetime warranty.

Still there's nothing to stop you validating these estimates. Go for your life.

Thanks Nancy. I have received the dealer's quote $695. Also did a search on this site and found that dealers charge between $600 - $700 for full tint jobs.

The Tint Professor will do darkest legal tints for about $400 but you'll have to survive driving a bright yellow hyundai while your cars in the tint shop

Waiting on responses from Premier Tint Melbourne http://www.premierwindowtint.com.au/

and Tint a Car http://www.tintacar.com.au/contact.cgi?id=33

Will update this thread again once I receive their responses.

Did you tint your car as well?
