but of course...nothing's better than a tinted SILVER 8 ... mine. Charcoal 32

 

I purchased my 2005 Brilliant Black / full black interior leather October of 2004. Cabin heat never became an issue. With spring * summer coming, I was in the market for window tint. Based on this thread I found a dealer in Toronto that uses " Formula One " product and computer cut application.

The shop is spotless and proffesional. One I investigated, had a guy playing with his Rottweiler and was one step up from a club house.


Again Great info !
starting to get worried how much time I spend reading this forum.

 

Update: Thanks guys for all your help. The tint looks fantastic. I went with the Ultimate Series 28% tint and it looks damn good on my car. It's not too dark & not too light. It isn't as reflective as the Premier Series, so I'm satisfied. I'll get pictures soon.

I did run into a few problems though. On the driver's side, the tint started peeling in the corner near the side mirror on the 2nd day. I think it was a combination of the autorolldown feature on our cars when the door is ajar, the fact that it was cut too short (not able to tuck in well), and the installer overlooking that area. On the passenger door, there were dirt particles trapped inside the tint. I know that unless you are in a sealed, dust-free room, you're bound to get some particles. However, these were a bunch of particles (about 25 of them) in a small square inch block. The rest of the windows (small windows & hatch) are perfect.

I took it back today and showed them. They redid it with no questions asked. Took about an hour to do. They told me to try avoid using the door as much as possible until it dries, so I tried jumping through my hatch but I got stuck. I re-examined everything after getting the car. There's 1 dirt particle on the passenger window but again, I'm not that ****. I can live with 1 or 2 dirt particles over a whole window but a cluster of them doesn't fly.


Update 2:
Here it is guys (& gals). 28% Ultimate Series tint.

 

nice.... how much does top notch tinting cost>

 

With my tint, it was $189 + tax. The ceramic was quoted at $239 + tax. I think my cost is kind of high compared to others I've seen on the net (about $160+). Then again, the tint you choose can greatly inflate the price.

 

Looks good...too bad about the problems. The auto roll down on the doors is really nothing new for us to deal with. Many POS BMWs have that feature too. Atleast the tinter took care of the problems.
