    Default How much for a decent tinting?

    Was curious how much it would cost for a decent tint job on my E34 525i 95's windows. The car is great but in the sun it can really start to burn up.

    Be aware, tinting doesnt actually stop heat from getting into the car.
    The sun is heating the glass, having film behind it wont actually help.

    Tint however will cut heaps of glare, save your upholstery, and also look good!

    Oh and if you can live without tint on your rear window, then dont get it done. They cut my rear demister doing it, and reversing at night time is horrible due to the E34s poor reversing lights in unlit areas.

    I paid 180...make sure you get metallic type. And the rear window better be single piece.

    Yeah but the non-metallic will turn purple in about a few years. Also, isn't the point of a radar is to see what is ahead of you? But that is besides the point.
