I just got these put on yesterday and they are darker than I thought they would be.

Johnson 35% Charcoal.

Sorry the car is so dirty.

Hey, for a guy who is waiting for his new car I can not see the dirt. I just stare at the beautiful car! You say the tint is darker than you thought. How is it at night?

Edit: I did not look at the Posts. Welcome RN123 to the best site for e60 information and help.

Welcome to the board!
Tint looks good.

I guess the color makes a difference in how dark it appears. I saw an E60 with 40% in front and 28% in back and it didn't look that dark. It was more of a brownish color.

It didn't seem as dark at the shop but I like it. I usually always tint my cars 5% like my old one but I figured with a black/black car 35% is dark enough and still looks classy.

I just got my 545i tinted this thursday also with Johnson 35%. It does look a bit dark at times from certain angles. I hope I dont get ticketed since tint isnt really allowed in Pennsylvania, although that rule is not always enforced.

I am trying to post a pic but cant seem to get it.
