Thinking of tinting the windows in my M-Sport. Does anyone know a good place in the Triangle area (NC)? Any suggestions on tint %? Feel free to post pics with your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Percentage is down to preference. I have what's claimed to be 13/6/6 that I feel isn't dark enough. I'm looking to get something like 5/2/2.

Make sure you see the tint before they apply it - I made the mistake of relying on brand name alone, and it turned out to be greenish, which really doesn't look right on a black car.

I paid something like 270 for 13/6/6 plus 6 on AS1. I forget the tint, but it came with some fairly long warranty. Lifetime, perhaps? It was by a decent-looking shop that did pretty good work, so neither a major tint/audio place nor some random schmuck in a van.

I was thinking it might be around $3-350... $297 doesn't seem too bad - thanks for the tips! Just looked at the M3 in the links - looks awesome, exactly what I want...
