Let me know when you take your car in, maybe if we bring two the shop can cut us a deal. I am in Irvine also.

Song's in k-town is one place that installs Huper Optik if that's what you're looking for. There's another place in the OC that installs HO, but not sure what the name is. Maybe someone can chime in. If it's non-ceramic, then your options open up significantly. I think ksfrogman got some pretty good tint somewhere in the southbay.... I got mine at Song's and they did an excellent job.

Here's a few links:

I got the tint for $450 I believe. Pricey... I think you can find cheaper solutions for ceramic tint. Huper Optik is probably as expensive as they come. Pinnacle Formula 1 is one alternative I believe.

Try Tint Connection in Costa Mesa - they did an awesome job on my car!! I got 32% all around, Solar Gard for about $178...they've done quite a few E90's...I don't have their card on me but I can get their contact info if you're interested. Let me know. Plus I see you are in Irvine so that would be convenient for you.

I just got mine done at California Tint in Rosemead for $120. They used Greystone (http://www.johnsonwindowfilms.com/GSN.php), and I got 17% for back window and 34% all around. They did an excellent job imo.

This is an outstanding tinter in Burbank. They were one of the first tinters when it became popular. I've had several cars done there and referred many happy customers.
