i have contacted precision tinting in orland park, but they want $450 for huper optik tint. i was hoping for it to be alot cheaper. i have read on this board that down in florida some people have gotten it for 250-300 range. any help would be much appreciated.

I can recommend a place in Indianapolis if your willing to drive 2 1/2 hours. It's not the huper optik but they did my e46 and my Pathfinder. 17% on my 325 paid $145.

I went to Car Boutique in Schaumburg and a guy with 25+ years doing tint did my e90. Overall nice job. $325. Pics before and after a 55% VLT Madico tint are shown here:

I had my car tinted at the dealership in Fla and ended up with a fairly crap job. I'm curious however, about the nubby spot at the top of the rear window...the tint there looks like it never dried properly. I think that might be a common problem, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

I'm going to have all of it pulled off and redone (in the Chicago area), will probably want 25% and won't want to pay over $400 or so...any additional recommendations?

about 210 dollars. haha. huper optik supposedly blocks out the heat better than other tints. they also say they block the heat better without going as dark as other tints. madico tints seem to do a good job for me. i am happy with my choice.

Do you notice a difference w/ and w/o your strut bar???

is it worth buying??

also, does it matter if you buy the OEM or an aftermarket brand??
