Do you guys think it is worth that extra $$ for the 3M Crystalline Solar Film than the old 3M film?
3M Crystalline Solar Film at $621usd for all 9 windows fitted.

old 3M film which I had in my old E60 at $473usd for all 9 window fitted.
what other tint do you guys have?

Wow, that's expensive! Hong Kong...
I got the Formula 1 Pinnacle ceramic tint (the same people who own Llumar apparently own Formula 1) which apparently won't interfere with the navi nor the comfort access. Lifetime warranty against discoloration and other stuff too.
$300
First time I ever tinted any of my cars. Love the heat rejection properties of the tint and even though it's not limo dark (I got 35% all around) it's plenty dark already for me.
Good luck with your choice!

Geez, that is expensive.
I looked at the link though, looks like the new 3M tint is pretty kick ass. 200 layers but still thinner than a post-it sounds amazing.

I think all mod parts cost much more in HK
eg like my ARQRAY exhaust it cost over $1350usd
this price is for the front and the sunroof too.
how much would it cost for the front?

did the tint today in the end he gave me 10% discount so it came to $634 for the front, back 4 doors and sunroof, now it dose feel much cooler when I get in the car after parking it out side for a long time.
also when turn on the air-con it is much faster the car being cold.
as for the tint it is not that dark only 30% tint, don't what to get stopped by the police in HK
will post photos of all my mods very soon.

Wow that pretty expensive for tint. I got mine done for around 300 and its pretty good so far. Keeps the car cooler especially since we have 300 days of sunshine a year around here.
