Tinted the windows yesterday

Looks good!

AwesomeM3 · 04-02-2008, 01:51 PM

That looks soooo hot on the AW M3. I would tint my windows, but the NJ cops constantly pull over tinted cars (illegal in NJ).

I don't know, I like how it looks on pics etc... but am afraid that it may look a bit too dark!! Not convinced I should do it!!!

I had a buddy do it on the side that tints windows. He used 3M Graphite series. Pretty expensive film. There is a tint up there that is called http://www.huperoptik.com/

its not dark but good heat rejection. I wanted a dark look because i think it looks great with the white and I don't want people to see me. It's 20%.. Funny because I have 20% standard 3m tint on my X5 and it does not look this dark. The graphite series is different.

BTW, how many M3's has Chapman Sold? I wonder how many are up there in PHX. I was up there a couple days ago but drove the X because I-10 always has stones and junk on it.

Sweet, but I think it's time for a new camera. =)

$70K Car, $350 Tint Job and a $10 camera? What the F? No cell phone cameras aloud. Shame on you!

Blackberry..... What can I say

WKBRDR · 04-02-2008, 09:06 PM

Thanks for the info. Not sure how many Chapman has sold... They sold the first dealer car to a baseball player, then the 2nd dealer car that came in was sold too.. I haven't been back there since... I was told that I was 1st one to place an order of an M3 after the dealer cars..

trah23 · 04-02-2008, 09:06 PM

that looks freakin sick as hell

S65B40 · 04-02-2008, 09:46 PM

Nice job! I am thinking of getting a 45% tint so I'll still be able to show the color of fox red from the inside.

dude you should have never done that with your cell phone you lost all cool points on those pics. Now go get your real camera and take some real pics, and earn some cool points back. some of us would like to see it more clear so we can enjoy the picture

montreal red · 04-03-2008, 02:15 AM

love the tints though we need better shots!

spike357 · 04-03-2008, 07:43 AM

How did the tint turn out along the top edge of the rear window? My installer had a difficult time with the dot matrix.

///austin · 04-03-2008, 10:28 AM

Cool.
