Which is best window tinter in Sydney

Ninjaoz · 09-20-2010, 08:49 PM

I am thinking to get my 320i AW window tinted and would like to know who is the best quality installer and with a top quality window tint in Sydney area. I prefer the darkest legal, I think it is around 35% in NSW.

Could anyone help please? Does the interior door panels have to be removed for the tint? I heard about midnight express from tint-a-car, are they any good?

Thanks
Leon

I just got mine done at BMW when I dropped off the car once. 3M 35%. Don't cheap out on tints, otherwise you could get bad quality which bubbles/fades etc...

how much did you pay for it? if you dont mind me asking. a blonde chick was trying to get us into it when we bought our car from BMW Sydney, got quoted for $695 which I thought was a bit steep.

i've done a bit research on this, tossing either the black pearl film at Solartint, or the Formula 1/Midnight express at Solace (aka tint-a-car). i think a few of you have done your tints at Rosebery? any comments and feedback?

cheers

Theres another thread here.

You will find some links to my car in alpine white with 3M 35%. Then on the second page another car belonging to Systech with the formual 1 tint. Formula 1 probably isn't quite as dark as the 3M, but I think either would be a good choice.

I was initially told $540 from BMW Sydney, but after a small "you can do better" it ended up costing $430. It looks good and works well with black interior. In terms of actually keeping things cool inside - I have no idea, I can't really notice any difference (but that's just me)

$430 sounds quite reasonable, did you remember the brand of the film? I might go back to the dealer and ask for the same deal!

I've got the tag/receipt like thing in the car, ill double check but I'm sure it is 3M Automotive Tint 35%. (is that what you mean by brand?)

indeed, which is why I didn't bother shopping around more. My car was going in to the service centre anyway so it was easy.
