I had 30% lumar put on, only problem is that in NJ the front side windows are not allowed to have any tint.
Oh Well

Most states don't allow tint on the sides without some sort of viewing area. I think AZ, Nevada, Texas, and the rest of the desert states are ok...the rest of us are rolling the dice day to day!!!!!
Your car looks great!

The tint goes with the car color beautifully..

Just a thought, is the BMW leather really succeptible to sun damage?

I had a Mitsubishi a couple of years back and slowly after a few years, the rear head rests felt like dry rocks. The leather was totally hard and peeling and the stiching seemed like it was on its way off...

If thats the case, im inclined to make my rear screen as darkly tinted as possible.. Hehe...

Virginia will allow 50% on the front side windows. Other states like NY allow some tint too.

I've found the leather to hold up well. The rear decks will fade with time. There is UV film that many tint shops will put on your car that won't tint your windows but will block UV light.

Thanks everyone, when I first saw it it looked a little too dark, but the more I look at it the more I like it.
