I went almost the same - 50% front , 35% rear (see my tint on page 3) - the sunroof is already at 20%

Since the windows already have a 70% tint your front will be an equivalent 35% and your rear will be an equivalent 25%....

Your tint job looks awesome. I'm going to copy your specs exactly as well as try for that Llumar charcoal. I have nebula with red interior--hopefully mine turns out as nice as yours.

I am extremely happy with my tint outcome! 55% front, 35% rear, and 15% sunroof. I live in California and I just don't want to take a risk LOL.

***Disclaimer: I guess I should have washed the pollen off my car before taking pictures hehe***

35% looks perfect for the Nebula Grey. Think I'll get the same.

I think so, yes. I was happy to pay $249 for all-around tint.

I went with llumar ctx 30 on front, back and rear. My front windshield was done with Solar Gard UP 70 and I gotta say it was a good choice but a bit pricey.

Bwahaha we know where you live.

Your address number is right on the wall.

Better scratch that out and protect your privacy.
You also have the license plate on your M5.

So you're the one that picked up that white IS350 from Steven's Creek.
I believe it was sitting there for a while right when it got off the transport truck.
I was deciding on that or the nebula, ended up with my nebby.

Congrats.

Keep the import and euro separate they might start fighting. Congrats on the tint too bad the sun went away but least you'll have some privacy inside your car.

Looks good! Cars look night and day better when adding something simple like tint!
