What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

What are you plans with the '02? You can turn around and sell it for profit.

Good luck! Worst case scenario, if you have to pull the tint, have that done and retint it with Llumar Air Blue 80... As soon as I replace my windshield, I'll be doing that. Almost completely clear, but rejects heat and UV like no other!!

Thanks!

I almost went with a different 3M product that has similar properties to what you are talking about. But it was lighter and cost over twice as much. If I have to do it twice though, it would have been the better deal X-/

...3M product ...cost over twice as much...

EXACTLY... After researching tint a whole bunch, I found that 3M was so ridiculously overpriced for what it is. I went with Llumar (their FormulaOne Pinnacle line to be exact) and am so happy, and it has a lifetime warranty!

My goodness, there's always something so sexy about a set of long tube headers...

Nicely done JP.

What I have on my windshield now is also a 3M product. As are the rest of the windows, it wasn't too bad overall, but that fancy heat reflecting tint was twice as much as the regular 3M film. The guy at the shop said it would have a "bronze" look to it, which is another reason I went with regular tint. Bronze windshield on Imola Red with regular (black) other window's didn't sound too good to me.

I'll check into that film your talking about on the next car!

Ceramic does have a reflective type material on the film, but no bronze.

I have Madico Advance Ceramic on both of the cars, and I wouldn't go with anything else, IMO. Once you go ceramic film, and realize the heat rejection over standard film...the difference is incredible.

MAC 3000 (30%) on the Z4M
MAC 5000 (50%) on the 128i

Exactly... I have ceramic too, no bronze color...
