Tint shop in area that can do 15%?
Have yet to find a shop that will do this particular one. I know most do 50/35/20/5, but I've had 20 for a while and was wondering about this. I figured that the film could be ordered if someone wanted a particular one, but I guess its too much trouble if they don't already have it.

They dont advertise 15%, but call them and ask just in case. I've had all my tinting done by them, they solve pretty much any problem. |

I just went through and raided the tint thread archives here lol, I've also found LA Tint who seem to be pretty reputable. They're pretty far from me and a tad expensive, but I would rather pay for a good job done the first time. And thanks man, I'll definitely check them out, as well.
Had my tinting done by Mark at National Glass Tinting and I've got seriously bad scratches on my passenger rear window. Like, DEEP scratching. Looking to go someplace else.

Dang, was planning to go to National Glass Tint this week based on yours and Dean's recommendation. But if yours has scratches, I might be looking for another place

I think that's who I'll be going with, as they also offer 15%, which seems to be a rarity around here. Price isn't something I'm concerned with, but rather the quality of the job.

Call Matt at TNT tint. Pretty sure you can get whatever you want - he'll probably warn you that your likely hood of getting pulled over will be increased with anything higher than 35%, but hey it's your car! Top notch quality.

Scratches in the tint are a well documented problem for E90 sedans. The problem is an unfelted rubber seal on the inside at the bottom of the window. Coupes have a completely felted seal. There are a couple of solutions. One is cutting off the part of the seal that's causing the problem. The other is getting tint protector molesking from tintprotector.com. I went the latter route. I've had the tint and tint protectors for two weeks through this extremely hot weather and have no scratches at all. My workplace is behind a security gate, so I'm lowering my window at least twice a day.

Nonetheless, I'll reinspect my tint on my lunch break. I'll report back.

Installing the moleskin isn't hard. I really took my time and had it done in an hour. If you're interested, let me know and I'll see if I can't find some instructions. You'll need a T20 bit and plastic interior tool. Basically, you pop the top of the inside door panel and you can pull the rubber seal out. Trim and stick the molesking on. Pop the door panel back in place and you're done. |

Matt at TNT is probably the best best in all Virginia. He has fair prices and only the highest quality work. He is located in Alexandria right across the street from BMW. I have 35% all around and love it. I would recommend you get the moleskin so there is no worries on scratching... he charges 20 a door.
