New Tints

Just got my windows tinted with Formula 1 Pinnacle Ceramic tint. I love the way it looks. I also installed the tinted Lamin-x headlight films and a new trunk spoiler. I've been busy today

What is that? 15?

I am getting Formula One Pinnacle 15 installed tommorrow on all windows (except the windshield!). My whip is Steel Grey Metallic. Where did you get the headlight tints?

It was Pinnacle 35 (Legal limit allowable on front windows in Florida). I can't do dark tints (can't see through them at night). I ordered the headlight tints directly from lamin-x.com. Just make sure you order the right kit for your car (they have both luxury and sport kits due to foglight size). They were $54.95 plus shipping (around $63 total) and got them in 4 days.

No. I got yellow films for them but didn't have time to put them on.

Fantastic look!

hey Aka, so for the Head Light Color option you clicked on (TINT)? i have iridium silver also, and i really like ur headlights. -thanks

P.S. why do they have two options for the headlights and foglights? ex. Mercedes C- Class (Sport) Lighting Kit (08-) and Mercedes C-Class Lighting Kit (08-) both are 54.95 are they the same thing? or is one lux. and the other sport?

If you noticed- the "lux" kit includes the tint for the side marker lights...the sport doesn't. I don't know if I'd use them- but I would have liked the option. I think I will call them today and check on this.
The tint cost $250. More than I expected but it comes with a lifetime warranty which is backed by any authorized agent. A little more for piece-of-mind.
