    Light/50% Tint Pics?

    Heyo guys,

    I've tried searching on every e30/bmw site I can, and I'm finding little to no examples of an e30 done in 50% tint. Everythings 35% or below. I dont want to hurt the lines of my car or make it too clostrophobic to I'm set on doing something very light. Llumar air80 on the windshield maybe if I can find someone willing to do it.

    Pics anyone?!?!

      well yeah that's been my sentiment for years, which is why i wont consider anything below 50%. im doing this for heat rejection and because i dont like being on display in a fishbowl for everyone to see.

          Your car is beautiful as it is. In my opinion, tint is only right for certain colors. If it is function over form , then just do it.

            Tint has always been my friend in Cali... my E30 isn't tinted, but it could really use it.

                Been thinking of adding 50% madico charcoal for my e30. Had the same tint on my previous 2 cars and never had beef from officials (even when pulled over) and doesn't impede night time driving.

                Said past 2 cars with tint (windshield included)

                  Added note the 50% madico charcoal I use typically is a few shades darker than the avg 50% window tints.

                        Can't go wrong with 35%. Nice smoked look without being to distracting at night nor taking away from the natural lines of the car.

                          Here's 3M crystalline 60 on my front windows, unfortunately that's the best picture I have atm.



                          Only ceramic tint that tops 3M is FormulaOne Pinnacle and huberoptiks. You'd probably want to steer clear of the huberoptiks as it has a bluish hue to... think previous gen. MBZ E class.
