Tint King - Billerica
Anyone get their tint down at Tint King in Billerica? I talked to Brian last year when I first started considering tint on my F31. I have read lot's of good stuff, but it's a ways away from me so just want to hear any of your thoughts before I commit. I'm down on the Cape, so if you know of any comparable places down my way that would be helpful as well.
I was quoted $400 for Formula One Pinnacle and $550 for Huper Optik, which are the two I thought would be best for my needs. Doing the MA legal 35%.

I did my 2016 M3
From the dealer to their shop for Full front XPel and 20% ceramic tints Came out 99%, few little miss alignments on the XPel, impossible to see unless you are detailing the car yourself I would definitely do with them again

Hi, I want to get my Roof blacked out, any suggestion for a good place to get it done? I am looking at Dan's Auto Body shop in Peabody.

I recommend Randy at 'Tint Works Boston' in Burlington MA. He does the Mercedes Benz of Burlington cars. I've had a e46 and a F30 done by him, no complaints, gets the job done right the first time and is a perfectionist. He also wraps roofs too!

Digging an old thread, so I got these quotes from tint king...does this sound right or too expensive?
. The price for the ATC film for your car would be $250. The better quality is Pinnacle/ceramic that is black film with no dyes and 53% heat reduction. For this film to tint your car it is $380. Last we have the best quality film which is Stratos. That, as well, is all black film with no dye and double the performance of Pinnacle. Stratos is 97% protection from ALL infrared energies and is $550 to tint your car.

I didn't realize there was a Billerica in Massachusetts, named after Billericay in Essex. It immediately reminded me of an Ian Dury song.
Good evening I'm from essex In case you couldn't tell My given name is Dickie, I come from Billericay And I'm doing very well Had a love affair with Nina In the back of my Cortina A seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener She took me to the cleaners And other misdemeanours But I got right up between her Rum and her Ribena Well, you ask Joyce and Vicki If candy-floss is sticky I'm not a blinking thicky I'm Billericay Dickie And I'm doing very well I bought a lot of brandy When I was courting Sandy Took eight to make her randy And all I had was shandy Another thing with Sandy What often came in handy Was passing her a 'Mandy' She didn't half go bandy So you ask Joyce and Vicki If I ever took the mickey I'm not a flipping thicky I'm billeicay dickie And I'm doing very well I'd rondez-vouez with Janet Quite near the Isle of Thanet She looked more like a gannet She wasn't half a prannet Her mother tried to ban it Her father helped me plan it And when I captured Janet she bruised her pomegranet So you ask Joyce and Vicki If I ever shaped up tricky I'm not a blooming thicky I'm Billericay Dickie And I'm doing very well You should never hold a candle if you don't know where it's been The jackpot is in the handle on a normal fruit machine So you ask Joyce and Vicki Who's their brickie I'm not a common thicky I'm Billericay Dickie And I'm doing very well I know a lovely old toe-rag obliging and noblesse Kindly, charming shag from Shoeburyness |

Used these guys back in 2012 to get tints for my last car. Did a damn good job. All single piece installs, no seams/creases/mars etc. Sold my car a few months back and the tints look as good as the day they were installed.
Highly recommend !

So after some research and diff quotes...Im going with Tint Works in Burlington. Randy use to be the guy from Tint Kings and open his own shop in Burlington. For Llumar CTX is $320
I use to go to Solar solutions, but I didnt want their Suntek products, but they also do amazing job.

I had 25% on my 2012 328 all around and at night it was a little brutal. Thinking about going 35% on my new(er) 2015 328. Anyone have a picture of 35% on a red f30?
