My rear window is a little imperfect, the rest of my windows are fantastic though....shaded days had some trouble with the back, but were willing to redo it to get it right whenever

Anyone have any ideas where to go for the rear window to get it perfect?

Shaded Days does do F1, for $100 extra....but they dont recommend it, they told me that you wont notice the difference in cabin temp and in his opinion its not worth the 100

+1 for umbra.
I just had my 335d done, 35% all around and clear bra installed front bumper, quoter panels and full hood. Nino, did outstanding job on the tints, and Brian on the clear bra. Price very competitive, give them a call if you are looking to have job done right.

i know a guy in chicago, think the shops name is ceaser, but it's actually a car wash place. pretty ghetto but have taken a bunch of cars there and he has life time warranty (never had to use it). he charges around 140 for coupes n 160 for sedans. thats the cheapest i have ever seen.

Planning to tint my windows in next couple weeks, gonna put 5% tint. I am from Westmont. The most i am concerned about is the rear window, i would like to avoid bubbles around the sides. Any updates? Umbra? or some other shop?

+1 on this. I had mine done there and it turned out great. they are laser cut to your car. I believe they use formula one tint.

called Nino couple hours ago, askesd him if he could put 5% all around, he said that he could put 5% on the rear & and rear sides, but he would put only 35% on the front, because he doesn't want to get in a trouble he said he would do the whole car for $200 (5% rear; 35% front) or he would do the rear & rear sides + he would give me 5% tint for the front, but i had to do the front at some other shop. Does anyone know any magic words that could tell to Nino, that he would do the whole thing at his place?

He won't do it. With the new laws, he could get into trouble. Sounds dumb, but it is the way it is. I talked to him about this when I got mine done last week. He does nice work. Highly recommend

Hes doing you a favor. Cops are a pain in the burbs if tint is too dark. Its why i went super light on the M3. Only 40% all around.

35% all around is legal now though.

i had 35% on the front and 5% in rear when i used to have my e46 sedan, but i didn't like the contrast between the front and rear, thats why i would like to even it out on this car. Either way i definitely want to go lower than 35%, so if Nino won't do it, i'm gonna have to find someone else, i guess.

$200 for the whole car sounds good, I want to get 35% all around. Will probably be going there soon.
