[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 500835, member: 81"] Based on Specs, the Ecotint Raybarrier or 3M Crystaline tints are the ones to get. Good VLT readings and TSER and reasonably priced. Vkool is good, but it causes issues with GPS, handphone signal strength, remote door lock response, access cards/smart tag. It weakens these signals. My vote for the best looking tint goes to Huper Optik Ceramic 40 (C40). Unlike Vkool, 3M or Ecotint, it's the most unreflective, and gives a deep soft color/hue. Very classy color as well. However, because it's not as reflective, the TSER ratings are good but not the best. I generally don't like reflective "hard" looking tints and much prefer a soft deep look. I am running Huper Optik C40 on my wife's car (white) and absolutely love the color of the tint and the way it looks! As C40 is also based on ceramics instead of metalized tint, it doesn't interfere with EM signals making it much more convenient vs. Vkool. Here is a pic of an Apine white E9x with Huper Optik C40 taken from E90 post. [IMG]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1158/1469356007_5455630277_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
