Best TINTS in the NorthEast?

AltecBX · 12-01-2007, 02:08 AM

Who's the best tinter in the North East? Preferably NY?
Anybody have any pics that they have to go with a Montego Blue 335. Planing on putting some on soon. Want to know your inputs on what shade and kind of name tints?
Whats the best: Lumar, 3M, or Pinnacle? And at what prices for all 7 windows?

There are a huge number of threads on tints in the mods forum. There is much controversy over how much (or if) they interfere with Comfort Access. I've been following all the threads because I plan on tinting in the Spring.

Consensus (but not overwhelming) is that Ceramics interfere less, but can still interfere. The best for avoiding interference appears to be F1.

Please note, this is not scientific; just my read from all the various e90 threads.

The Art of Tint right in NYC. He's the only authorized Huper Optik dealer in NY and does a hell of a job. he charges flat $450 on all car which seems to be the going rate for Huper Optik tints anyway.

also i noticed you have montego, here are some pics for reference, mine is 40%

^ i got mine done there too. paid him $480, $450 and $30 tip. i see in your picture your dot matrix is perfect. mine was that too at first but did they get hazy after like different color, like a bubble or something. i can't explain it its like white and it looks like liquid is inside. there is a haze on it no?

i got mine done back in August, no haze showed up yet *knock on wood*. It may be because i got mine done in the summer and let it sat in the sun for a couple days so it cured properly. did you get yours done when it was cold?

i took some more pics of the dot matrix...it came out pretty good, no problems so far...

Mention "Richie" with the dark blue 335i sedan (indian guy) and you'll get Huper Optik tint at $400, which is a $50 discount.
