New M3 owner here and considering this (likely this is a car I want to keep forever). Thanks for posting!
Ignorant question: Is there really any benefit to the higher grade films? Seems to me it might be just a lot of extra expense for minimal added benefit.
It’s technically illegal to have the side windows done too in CA I believe, but I’m guessing it’s one of those things that’s seldom enforced unless you do something else to draw the ire of a police officer or they need a reason to pull you over (or tack on one more fine once they do...) Still, there ARE bored cops out there with nothing better to do - I got a “fix it ticket” for a burned out taillight once (but that was years ago). As a counterpoint it seems there’s all kinds of illegal / obnoxious stuff rolling around on the road out there these days (far worse than some window tint) and I never see / hear of anyone getting busted for it. Has anyone here actually gotten pulled over for side window tint in CA? At +/- $1,000 this is a not-insignificant investment and I’ll be none too happy if I’m required to remove it after a week to satisfy some cop out there with an axe to grind...
Thanks all!
