Window tinting and "clear bra" recommendations?
I'm curious if anyone here has a recommendation for a good shop for window tinting in the Puget Sound area for my new M4? Second question is that I'm debating the "clear bra" thing? Anyone have any experience to share with it? Did you do just the front end or the whole hood? Does it hold up? Is it noticeable? Does it detract from the look of the car? Does it hold wax build up at the edges? Good shop for that too? Thanks!

I had both tint and clear bra done at Northwest Auto Salon in Lynnwood and they did a very good job. I went with the full hood and front fenders as I despise rock chips. Since the bra goes right up to the edges nobody can see it unless I tell them it's there. On my previous car I had the clear bra only cover the front bumper and partial hood. It's definitely more noticeable as being able to see the edge line across the hood, however again nothing most people will notice unless they closely inspect your car. The only area I actually notice wax/dirt buildup is actually on the factory clear bra that comes with the car on the rear fenders.

I also went to northwest auto salon. I have a full clear bra, bu that was from BMW. NWAS did Prestige Photosync on my windows, and it's an excellent job, and excellent film.

I had my E92 tinted at Accutint on Airport Way in Seattle a couple of years ago. They did a great job and pretty reasonable. All windows except windshield was $330.

They will also give you a discount if you have them do the clear bra and window tint at the same time.
