Windows tinted, roof & mirror wrapped.... (AW)

Mike01ci · 04-25-2016, 06:55 PM

I am pretty happy with the results.

edit: I guess I should give a "shout out" to STL Creative Coatings for taking care of me.

edit2:updated with 1 new pic of the side rails done.

I was thinking about the grills, but with the chrome in the lights, I was torn... If I do the grills, i will do the gills and black out the blue in the roundel, and go gloss black on the diffuser.

I kept my stock grilles for the exact same reason. Just get the chrome indicator bulbs and good to go.

Nahh. It'll look good with the new black accents you added. Can't go wrong with black.

dmboone25 · 04-25-2016, 07:15 PM

Looks really good.

Truth be told, the only thing that is really bothering me.... is the amber reflector... it will go when I get the chrome bulbs....

I might have him wrap the grill for like $20 and if I like it, I will get the real ones... I have to see it with the rest of the stuff in my color etc.... Or maybe I will just photoshop it and see what it looks like then....

but I really want to ditch the amber reflector.

I was gonna have mine tinted but he said it would still show. I have an email in to a vinyl overlay maker to get a template to him. They color match the paint. I'm not sure how many people would be interested in getting those.

I will wait for the clear reflector, I never cared too much for the color matched inserts on the e46 & e92... I always got the clear reflector and had been happy with it.

Can't wait to wrap the roof on my Mineral Grey M2 with M perf grills, spoiler, and gills!

Looks Sick!

OrangeCrush · 04-25-2016, 09:05 PM

This looks awesome and it's what I will do whenever I get the time.. (a gaggle of small kids). What % tint? And are you going to wrap the thin trim on the side of the roof?

Pyrat 2 · 04-25-2016, 09:22 PM

^ What he said. What %?

Just had mine tinted today too. I'm in the Chicago area so the VLT is less critical because of the weather and its more a matter of personal preference on the look. I was looking to get a stealth look on my BSM and not so dark as to make it ghetto. I ended up with FormulaOne Pinnacle from Llumar and got a 40% tint. I had 55% on my Carbon Black 1 and like the look a lot but wanted something just slightly darker. I'll post a picture shortly.

Ian ///M · 04-25-2016, 09:43 PM

I like it, but it just seems a little all over the place with the blacked mirrors and roof and nothin else blacked . Just my opinion though, as long as it fits your vision!

wantm135i · 04-25-2016, 09:53 PM

Dont listen to them, the car is perfect, if you black out any more it wont be balanced in its look. There is a lot said with restraint.

Mike01ci · 04-25-2016, 10:25 PM

Same film as you, but 20%.

I'm leaving the side rails white, I had him do them but with the ski rack bolt cover things, it didn't look right...so, it was pulled.

dammitcubs · 04-25-2016, 11:16 PM

How much did the roof wrap cost you? which material did you use?

Will the port or the dealer install the spoiler without the left and right front winglets? Supposedly, just the spoiler without the winglets gives you too much lift at speed....
