First pics

2022 M240X. Brooklyn gray, Tacora red. 35% tints with 70% on windshield.

Debadged on the back. PPF still in process. I've owned it since Wednesday. Should be driving it this Wednesday.

Looks great! Wow those tints look darker than I was expecting for 35, but I'm loving it lol. Would you mind posting more pics in different lighting if possible? I'm on the fence between 30 and 20 percent, but after seeing your ride, 20 might be too dark for me

I will as soon as I get it back from PPF. Later this week, presumably.

Awesome and thanks. I'm dreading having to give mine up after taking delivery to get PPF installed, the extra wait must suck… how much PPF are you having installed? Sounds like a full PPF job with that timing

I did the full PPF with ceramic on top, ceramic on wheels and calipers, debadging, and of course, tint.

Considering the cost of this car, it's probably not truly sensible to do the full PPF. But it's worth it to me.

Nice! I'll be doing a full PPF as well. IMO it's worth the peace of mind plus if you plan on keeping the car for a while and like your car in brand-new condition it is definitely worth it and the best form of protection

Just curious what ceramic coating are they applying? I think my shop uses G-Techniq Halo or something like that

Not sure. They use Xpel for everything else.

Edit: confirmed it is Xpel fusion ceramic. Car will be ready tomorrow afternoon.

Awesome build man. I'm going to have to agree with you and say immediate PPF. I may only do front bumper, hood & mirror covers since I'm taking it immediately on track lol.

Thanks for the pics, looks great! I have the same color combo, might do 35% as well. What brand of tint is it?
