The sedan has Onyx 35% all around and 55% on the front windshield. The coupe has Onyx 55% for the doors, 35% in the rear, and 55% on the front windshield.

Since you live in LA, I do recommend you to Song's Tint Masters. My friends, Hann & Jay, owns that shop and have been tinting for 16 yrs........they are one of the best in the industry and carries Huper and Madico films. They're located:

2464 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90018
and their contact # is (323) 732-9100. Good luck!

Re: Smoke Tint on Black/Willow

Thanks for the pics. They look real nice and professional. Great job. I like the Onyx 55%. Do you have any pics of the Madico Charcool or Huper?

Also do you know what I should expect to pay at your friend's shop for let's say Onyx 55% all around?

Thanks again.

Re: Smoke Tint on Black/Willow

I honestly don't know what they charge over there, but Shops that use Madico's Onyx can cost anywhere from $200 and up depending on how many windows.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of the Charcool line or Huper Optik. Good luck!

Re: Smoke Tint on Black/Willow

Found some Huper pics on G35s.

I think I want the Huper since it gets real hot here in So. Cali during the summer. What do you think? I don't want super dark though.

Scratch the Huper idea, I don't have $400 for a tint job.

Re: Smoke Tint on Black/Willow

Huper is a very nice film, but the only downside to it is the price. It costs vendors or retailers about 400% more to get Huper film over any conventional film. So in that respect, it is worth the $400 for those willing to pay for it. Plus, installing Huper film is quite a bit more difficult because it's a 9 mil thick film. It would take longer to dry and is much more difficult to shrink.

Go w/ Madico...........

Re: Smoke Tint on Black/Willow

Thanks for the info,

I think I'll take your advice and go with the Madico, probably Onyx-55% all around.

Hann said he'll give me a discount since I mentioned you.

Thanks again!

Re: Smoke Tint on Black/Willow

Here are some pics. I went with Madico smoke 35% all around. Not too dark and slightly reflective. Came out real nice.
