No. What I meant to say is that everything you said about Huper Optik can be said about Formula One. Both are well worth the money.

Well I guess the huper optik stuff is really overpriced then?

Any brand is fine, don't worry about it. As long as it has the lifetime warranty and isn't metallic you should be fine. Remember to that metallic tint might mess up your GPS or Sat Radio reception.

If you want to get the BEST tint, I personally think the Formula One Pinnacle is the best tint you can get.

Of course it's going to run you 400+ with install.

How much did it cost you? I'm thinking about redoing my tint to 20% if I get pulled over by the police.

I paid around $400. If you had shown up for the Wheel Power Meet this last weekend you might've met some people that can help with the fix-it ticket for the tint.

Nah, haven't got a ticket yet! Illegal tint and my dealer tags been on for almost a year. KNOCK ON WOOD

I wanted to go to the meet to check out all the cars and possible future mods, but I had to attend a family event. Plus, I haven't finished modding my car! Next time for sure!

Get huper optik from

Sal - 714-546-1002

3071 South Harbor Blvd.
Santa Ana, CA 92704

Participated in a group buy on another bmw forum and everyone was impressed with the work. For 4 doors though, the group buy price for huper optik was something like $400.

I also got my tint from Sal, but I got Charcool by Madico. Cost was about $225 if I remember correctly. He did a great job
