By the way, I read some of the post on previous pages that some of you guys are thinking of putting tint on their cars. I always have tint on my cars and had no problem, until my M5. I received a letter from the transport dept to call my car in for inspection before I left for Germany, and it was for the tint. My tint that I had is not that dark but it looks pretty dark when it's on the car, maybe because I have a black car with black interior. I peeled if off the morning I went for inspection and had it tinted back right after the inspection. Although this time I chose a lighter one, but it still looks dark, probably because of my interior and exterior again!
I must say that without the tint in the summer is a killer! You can feel burn of the sun on your arms, so IMO tint is a must

Which company u use? It seems that as long as the tints have 70% light transmission, then it's ok. I seem to recall that 3M tints have cert from TD, & Waito markets their tints as being legal. I still think the safest way is to order Climate Comfort Windscreen + Glass when ordering car, tho it's an expensive option.
Hey but tint makes the car looks better, so imo is worth it

There is a shop close to BMW service center in Ma tau Wai rd, he does tint for all my cars and does a pretty good job. Leon Lai's and Aaron Kwok's car is also done by him.
