  • Car is finally getting tinted!! *Pics added*

    Well, this was long-overdue, but I just dropped off my car at an upscale tint shop. I know I'm probably paying too much than what I should, but this place uses 3M scotch tint and works on cars like lambos, ferraris, etc. When I got there there was a nice Mercedes getting ready to be tinted, and the owners drive a BMW and Benz.

    The guy was telling me how he could tint my tails professionally at the bodyshop next door. He did it to his M3...they actually used paint on the taillights. It looked good, but not dark enough IMO, and he said the light still shines through. But it would be $250, so I said forget it lol.

    So in about 3 hours I'm going to pick it up, and I'll try to get pics posted in this thread asap. Laterrzzz!!

    Awesome, Post some pics when you get her back. I am going to retint my fronts darker and with a better quality tint. The stuff the guy used sucks.

            DEF post some pics when you get it back.. what % did you go with? and how much is it costing you for the tint? I have 3M done on my car, its the best tint out there, IMO. It does get a tad pricy though... Well can't wait to see what it looks like.

              Tell me about it. I have this car for two months, and no tint yet. I just need the time to get it done. Tint is as essential as tires, and it is driving me crazy.

                ok I got some pics! I think it looks perfect. The guys did a really good job. I just have to bring it back next week so they can wipe off the excess watermarks that will be left on the thirdbrakelight. They didn't have to remove the rear decklid I guess.

                It's 35% 3M Scotch Tint and I paid $238.

                    That looks pretty dark for 35%...hard to tell in pics though. That looks great though. This is really giving me the push to get in there and have it done. Hopefully I can find a good tint place around here that has decent tint. Car is looking bad-a$$ as always!

                      Nice shots! I like the tint i am thinking of 35% also since i cant tint my front windows i think it will blend in better.

                        Looks GREAT tinted!

                        FYI: Yours is the very first coupe I have seen with the hi-mount brake light cut out. Looks real good like that, much to my surprise. Guess that's where a quality craftsman shows his talents. :smoke:
