Huper Optik Ceramic Tint Picture Request

Calling all Huper Optik tint owners...

I am wanting to have Huper Optik ceramic tint installed on my 1er when it gets here in the beginning of August but I would like to see how it looks on the car. I will probably be going with their ESC 35 tint. Does anyone have pics of their car with the tint applied?

The reason I ask is that I hate silver tint and tint that reflects silver if that makes any sense to you guys.

No, that wasn't meant to be a poke at you. I was simply asking that people post pics if they have not done so yet.

Wow, I would have never guessed that. How was I supposed to figure that out?

If it is in fact true, then which grade of tint did you go with, i.e. c60, c50...?

I'd like to see a close up of the dot matrix, a neighbor of mine got his windows tinted, and they just tinted around the dot matrix on his windows...you can kinda see the non tinted outline if you look up close...

You are always going to have that problem with the dot matrix no matter how good the guy is installing the tint.

Cool, but why are you getting lighter tint in the rear windows?

The numbers stand for the percentage of light allowed to pass through the tint.

Its looks darker because of two factors:

1-Black interior
2-If I was out in the direct sunlight it would be a little different but I am very happy with the install
