I called HB Tint Pros and quoted me $479 for formula one pinnacle tints. I also called Perfect Window Tint and quoted me $475 for Huper Optik tints.
Can someone direct me to a shop who can give me a better deal? I know people have gotten theirs tinted for as low as $350 for all 4 windows and rear windshield. Thanks!![Cool](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
UPDATE: I called Astro Eclipse and quoted me $355 for the Formula One Pinnacle tints. An FYI for those in SoCal who's looking into getting tints for their beloved E60!

I have just the place for you. Go to this place and talk to Jim (the owner) or Alex (she's the receptionist) and set up an appointment. It's $355 for the F1 Pinnacle series tint for all 5 windows. i got all 6 (windshield) for $530. i went with 50% front windshield, 35% sides, and 15% rear window and it's perfect.

They will give you a tag in your door jam, and paper work certifying everything, so don't worry. it's legit.

Got it done over the weekend and went 35% all around. It's lookin' pretty good and their work is impressive. I highly recommend this place for their great price and service! BTW, the LIFETIME WARRANTY is a PLUS and justifies the price IMO.
Now, i'm thinking if i should get the front windshield done w/ 50% tints. What you guys think?

Someone posted on another thread saying that if you get into an accident and they see you have your front windshield tinted and its not your fault you will get in trouble.
So those might be somethings you would want to consider but I personally like it and would do it to all my future cars.

I'm glad you liked that place. I have my front windshield done and I like it. It cuts with glare a lot during the day so I don't really have to wear sunglasses but at night some passengers have said that the window looks blurry but It looks normal to me.
