Which tint to get?

Gig103 · 01-22-2009, 03:35 PM

I'm here in sunny Arizona, and was debating which tint to go with ... Do i go with 3M Crystalline for $450, or FormulaONE Pinnacle for $335 (normal $420, getting a 20% break).

With the Crystalline, it's going to be 35 around, but with the Pinnacle I could probably do 35 front 15 rear -- but would that look too weird?

The car is Black sapphire/black leather, by the way

go with pinnacle man, you won't be dissapointed. I would just do 35% all around and since you live in AZ you might want to do the windshiedl 50% or 35%.

Hey man - I have a Black Sapphire 335i out here in Chandler.

I have Suntek on mine (5% all around, non metallic) and it's absolutely fine and does the job just fine. It cost me 200 bucks -- not exactly sure what benefit those two brands have over what I got besides the bigger price tag.

I honestly would never have different tint %'s unless I lived in California. Cops out here do not care about tint so you have a lot of freedom to do what you wish. I'd pick a number between 15 and 35 and do the whole car in it.
