Default Tint: 35%....Formula One--$165 3M--$180....anyone have pics?

Any pics of 35% would be appreciated... especially on a silver A4. I've not heard much about Formula One....what's the difference between it and say a regular 3M semi-metallic tint? The Formula One guy works out of a wheel shop (not a tint shop)....and says he warranties his work for as long as I own the car. And the other place (an actual tint shop) of course has lifetime warranty as well. I'm just wondering if 3 yrs down the road, the Formula One guy will still be around if/when I have a problem. I mean, after all he's working in someone else's shop. That's all I'm worried about I guess with getting the Formula One....well I haven't really seen a sample either, but... Suggestions? Pics?? Thanks..

Andy

Default Andy, did you see my llumar? 35%? why not darker like mine 25%?

On the silver A4 I had before I put 25% llumar on it and it looked real nice. Let me email my friend up in ny. I'll have him snap some pics for you. By the way I paid my local guy $200 and he's been in town for 17 years. He does awesome installs.

Default Legal I know what you mean. I called apr they said they were waiting on injectors

So they can send me my stage 3. I was thinking about a new exhaust, but it's more money. I have the older borla 2.5", but I'm kinda of getting annoyed by the "sandblaster noise". I'm still recouperating from spending that loot on the stage 3 So I'll see how it feels. I'm in the middle of doing the boost gauge like you have in your car too. I'm still molding the A - pillar. I'll let you know when it comes in tho. I got a friend here, he all into Mazda Rx-7's so he's done a ton of turbo installs. He's going to help me out if I need it. I'll let you know when it's installed, so you can test it out. Hide the credit cards
