Tinted the windows 20%
 
Well, after driving a good 45 minutes down the highway I finally made it to the tint place... supposed to be one of THE best in the Carolinas :dunno. I had him do both my car and the GF's, then he'll also soon be doing the mom's CLK55 AMG (yeah, he gave me a good deal on both the cars).

Got done quick, did mine in just about an hour and a half and did Carolyn’s in about one hour :D. Mine is just how I wanted it, darker than the last car, but yet still not TOO dark. Being that it's a sedan with light color interior, you can still see inside the front seats, but have a pretty hard time seeing the back seats when looking from outside. But from inside it's perfect, the sun still bothered me when I had 35% done on the last car. But now, NOTHING :redspotda

But here are the pics...

First M6 I've seen in the streets :worship (seena few 645's, but this is a first for me :D)

Wonder who did his exhaust (look at driver side :doh)

Looking good Rooz :shades - You missed your calling bro - you should be persuing a career in car photography for a major mag or ad agency.

nick_318is 07-27-2006 08:47 PM

Tint looks great on both cars. :thumbup If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to get it tinted? I feel like every place I call is charging $350 STARTING and it seems a little steep to me. :\

M6 looks HOT.

He did my car for $160 and Gf's for $125 (he usually charges $180 for mine and $150 for gf's)

I saw an M6 at the local dealership the other day. Almost missed it, it was hidding behind a GIANT "No test drives " sign.
