kilo & verylost - i got them done in shop specializing tints in manhattan, it was the only shop i could find that has huper-optik.. its called "The Art of Tint". it was $500 for all four windows, if you want to go with a different type of film it will probably be cheaper.

drocay - yes 20% all around

dave713 - ill have some full shots once the wheels come in and i get my exhaust setup

cherplex - autocouturesc hit it right on the head.. it is the auto couture kit.

everyone else thanks for good words

Looks good!

The only problem is tint like that on all windows would only be legal in Arizona, Texas, hot States. Here in Cali the cops would pull me over all day with tint like that.

At first i thought the price was insane but after some more research they seem cheap for the quality. When I was inquiring about tints here and on the e46 forum, they told me about huper optik and most were amazed by them, so I went for it.

Here are some words from huper-optik:

Huper Optik films provide the best in terms of performance, aesthetics, protection and energy conservation for discerning consumers. For comfort and solar protection in your vehicle, at work or at home, choose Huper Optik Select films, the superior choice.

- Cutting-edge technology with remarkable heat rejection performance
- High infrared-heat rejection of up to 98%
- High ultraviolet rejection; greater than 99.9%
- 100% dye-free materials
- Scratch-resistant hardcoat
- Low visible light reflectance

- Residential limited lifetime and commercial fifteen-year limited product warranty
- Increases comfort - cooler interior
- Reduces glare and fading to interior upholstery
- Saves energy by reducing fuel/electricity consumption
- Protects against sun-related skin problems
- Enhances safety with improved glass-shatter resistance
- Enhances overall aesthetics - no metallic or shiny effects

There is more info at www.huperoptikusa.com

I would recommend these to anyone, great quality.
