Hey guys,

Working on selling my e46 but picked up an E90 last weekend. I've been lurking for a bit and have met a bunch of you guys so just wanted to say hello. Thanks to Don and Paul who have already given me some good advice. Already started modding a bit more to come....

The problem is modding on the DL so my wife doesn't notice. I'm selling stuff off my old car then using the $ to mod the new one.

Excellent taste.....on both cars! I had a dark blue 2003 MB C230 Kompressor before I bought my 07 e90 SG 335. Loved the blue, but the SG was sooo sick! I was drooling over it while I was in Iraq.

Where did you get the tint? How much? Tint percentage?

Performance Window Tint in Columbia

Huper Optik 35%

I worked a deal with him but I think he charges about $450.

SunTek performance 70% on the windshield $150

Here's a craptastic cell picture kinda hard to tell the relative darkness.

flip4335 · 08-10-2009, 02:39 PM

Thanks for the info. Do you anticipate any problems with the tint? Like.....tickets?
