My 340 showing off her new window tint this morning (Updated)

bri1042 · 05-11-2016, 03:47 PM

She was looking all smug and happy in the parking lot at work, so I grabbed a quick pic. Very glad the tint is done, the windows just looked wrong without it.

What % did you do?

ProjectCarbon · 05-11-2016, 05:27 PM

That looks like 35%

Bols · 05-11-2016, 05:33 PM

You guys are so lucky you can do full tints (mostly)! Just looks the way it should!

Sayzar · 05-11-2016, 05:45 PM

NICE

Victorious · 05-11-2016, 06:34 PM

sweet

zman1237 · 05-11-2016, 06:50 PM

Looks great! Can you please provide details? Brand? %?

Been thinking about doing the install by myself with some Solar Gard Ultra Performance 30 Film.

goj · 05-11-2016, 07:42 PM

Very sleek. Looks good

jhuber · 05-11-2016, 08:59 PM

Looks good been wanting to do the same!

bri1042 · 05-12-2016, 04:25 AM

It's Suntek CXP at the legal Oregon limit (35, I think). I had it on my 328 and was very happy with it, and I'm very happy to have it back. Xpel Ultimate film was done at the same time on the nose and various other bits.

Stealth 340i! Black grille is needed.

Big Nodge · 05-12-2016, 08:11 PM

Looks nice. No front window tint allowed here in NH

Tinted windows always make the overall appearance that much better!

I've been on the fence with the black grille, the car is so dark that a little bit of chrome isn't bothering me much. We'll see...

Keep your wheels shine, your car will stand out nicely. :-)

Detailing is the bxxxh for black car. Do you have xpel or clear bra to protect the paint?

bri1042 · 05-13-2016, 12:45 PM

Xpel Ultimate on the front, and bits here and there in other spots.

Nick340xi_qc · 05-14-2016, 05:20 PM

So lucky to put that dark up front... 50% is not even legal in my area.

bri1042 · 05-14-2016, 07:25 PM

I'm glad that Oregon lets us go this far with it. I like the level of tint a lot, dark enough to work well, not so dark that it causes visibility issues. I have a friend with a very not-legal tint and you can barely see anything through it. It was on the car when he bought it, and he just hasn't gotten around to removing it.

bri1042 · 07-16-2016, 07:22 PM

I gave in and she got rid off her chrome nose this weekend.
