I just got my tint job done at Tint King in Billerica, MA. They did a great job and also ventureshielded my headlights. Cost was 400 for the tint and 50 for the headlights. Sound like a good price, I know huper is very expensive but I don't know what others are paying. I saw an M3 done for 350 but I don't know if they were getting a deal or cause my car was so new they had to put in a little extra effort.

 

yea...huper retail prices usually come out to that

 

haha you can go down to the bronx and get it done for a buck 50
tinting is a ripoff
I got mine done at the dealer for $300 or so

 

but will I live to enjoy the tint? Is your 300$ job huper?

 

dude I have no idea what Huper is
lol\
all I know is they wanted to charge me like $400
and they gave me a break
cuz I happen to know the service manager

 

what is huper tint? I guess I could google it. lol


Update:
Here ya goclicky

 

My dealer puts Huper on EVERY car they get, its not free either, its "rolled in" to the price, and I had to complain about it. (I really wanted it though, because Huper Optik is the best tint for the AZ heat.)
They list it as a 400$ option fyi.

 

Llumar 35% Metallic Tint, Happy With it, got a really quality job from a place that does work or Porsches, Lambos, Ferraris, Mercedes, and lots of high end cars

Buck Fiddy!

 

is it a good idea to just buy the tints from a shop and diy?

 

I got the 3M colorware for $200...it was more b/c its non-metallic and won't interfere with any Nav or XM, etc. Guaranteed never to fade for life. 20% all around.

 

So is 3m as good as this Huber? Im glad i didn't go tint yet and not sure if i want to.

 

why would you not want to? your car would look sick with tint!

 

I hear Formula One Pinnacle series tint is very comparable to Huper Optik and is slightly less expensive. I also want to go with ceramic tint because it won't interfere w/ GPS and the better TSER rating (Total Solar Energy Rejected)....at least I think that was the acronym.

Ceramic (NON-Metallic) Costs less than mettalic

GPS and XM Radio is on top, theres no way to affect your reception, they told me it would affect my AM Radio though, and NOTHING has been affected

 

In most instances, you would be correct...this is due to the fact that most non-metallic tints have a tendency to change color. 3M Premium ColorStable film does not fall under this category. Its a special film that is non-metallic and is guaranteed not to fade for life. And yes, it does cost a good amount more than the normal metallic films that can interfere with XM and Nav.
