12% 3M Tint. Get Metallic tint, not dyed. Dyed tint turns purple after a year or so.




I have 12% on my G20, and will be getting my hatch done in a month or so. (maybe)

i hope he's not putting that dyed crap on my car... thought maybe they gave up on using that crap.

yeah the rear 3 with limo tint looks nice.. but isn't it hard to see while backing up at night?

about seeing out at night, i had a 95 camry with limo tints (not sure the percent, but it was very dark) all around and it really sucked at night, like backing out of long driveways and stuff, i am thinking of getting very light tints on my hatch, my friend had that on his black 325is and it looked tite.

window tinting is an art. it takes time & practice to get bubble free results. start off by doing shit boxes not you own or you will be doing it a few times. leave the back window for last, you dont wanna fuck that one up if you got rear defrost. if you try it yourself keep the film wet all the time & be careful w/ the squeege make sure it if perfectly flat no grooves, that will cause scratching. good luck
