Official 2nd Gen IS Tint Thread - add your pics here!
I plan on getting my IS tinted soon at California tint. They told me they use Johnson film, and quoted me for $120 with a lifetime warranty. I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with this type of film and if it lasts a long time against fading and turning purple.

On the other hand on my E60 I took it to Wintech in Anahiem and the tint costed about $250 and it wasnt even their high end film I dont think... I think they had a better one and on top of that they had the option for Ceramic and that's been over 2 years and has not faded one bit. I somtimes wish it faded a little... its too dark.
You still get what you pay for...

I got mine tinted there with that film. As far as I can tell, it looks good. It's only been on for a little less than a year so I can't really tell you how much they fade or turn purple but I guess if they ever do I can just take in it with the lifetime warranty and tell them to replace it for free...

hey i have a question. The strip of tint on the windshield does that effect the rear view mirror since it has a sensor on the other side tooo. i just noticed that yesterday and im getting my tinted tomorrow.
