Baseball7382 · 02-18-2010, 11:04 AM

Hey Guys,

So I'm heading to Tom at The Art of Tint this Monday, but i'm not sure whether to go for the 35% or 20% llumar tint. Getting all the windows done except for the windshield. on my 07' 335xi TiAg sedan with black interior. Any recommendations or pictures to help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Matt

35% all around with a 5% windshield stripe. Hope it helps bro.

Lshaw · 02-18-2010, 11:49 AM

go 20%

harpoondude · 02-18-2010, 11:50 AM

Weird your 35% looks darker than mine

anyone know why?

Nypeder · 02-18-2010, 11:52 AM

20%

Jonny550 · 02-18-2010, 11:53 AM

lighting condition maybe

nusevad · 02-18-2010, 11:53 AM

i had 20 and now have 35%

The 20 at night is completely dark, you cannot see inside but it is a bit harder to see out too. IMO the 35 or even better, 30% is best because it does give u privacy but its not completely blacked out.

Craig@SupremePower · 02-18-2010, 11:58 AM

35%...

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 02-18-2010, 12:03 PM

20%

when your tint is too dark it looks cheap. that's all.

PNF · 02-18-2010, 12:53 PM

What color interior you have?

If you have beige or light color interior.. go 20%.

If you have black, coral red or anything dark color, go 35%

i have 20% all around except front windshield and it is around the same darkness as that 35% photo posted on the top!!

GQ Smooth · 02-18-2010, 01:20 PM

I got 35% on mine. CR interior, black exterior. I think its a bit too light, I can see clear through it. I would say go 20%.

Craig, your ride is sweeeeeeet!!!!!

danniexi · 02-18-2010, 01:23 PM

35% for me. dark enough, clean look, and not one problem with law enforcement.

bmwdawg · 02-18-2010, 03:18 PM

I had Tom do mine with 35% (Black Interior) and I thought it was too ligh so i went back the next week and he did 20% for me and I liked it alot better

RevC · 02-18-2010, 03:49 PM

bimmer02 · 02-18-2010, 05:34 PM
