35% sides, 18% back

PARTS@STBMW · 06-07-2016, 12:22 PM

Well done! Tint always looks better!

gmzanatta · 06-07-2016, 12:35 PM

Here where I live tints are illegal

Max is 30% light blockage which would lead you to believe you could...except they consider any car manufactured with a tint to be 30%

Tint is illegal in most places. Lol. So is not having a front plate. I went with 20% all around.

Edit: it's "high performance" ceramic tint from digicut.

The windshield I've never done. I think I would become a bigger cop magnet. I'm always ducking as it is.

20% all around is usually my go to as well, Looks awesome and really effective at keeping heat out in the summer here which is brutal. Never tried windshield either though, don't feel like I've ever needed to. I usually put a windshield cover up

We had Suntek CXP 80 installed on our M2 and it's been amazing. You barely notice it's there and it blocks tons of heat, even here in sunny Miami.

Panaflex Ceramic 35% tint all around

Prodigy. · 06-08-2016, 05:46 AM
