So I guess I should start with a little history. I’ve had 3 cars tinted at a “high-end” tint shop in Columbia, all with Huper Optik film. The first two cars were very good. These were done around 2003. Based on that experience, I took my E90 to get it tinted around 2 years ago. I spoke with the owner and explained that I wanted what was on my e46. As I think back his response was rather odd but I didn’t realize it at the time. I keep saying, “I want what I had on my old car.” He replied, “You want Huper on your car right?” This went back and forth 3 times until finally I replied yes.

Well the tint that was applied to my car was very metallic and mirrored in appearance. In all honesty I hated it. I couldn’t figure out what the issue was. How could it look so different on my M3 vs my e46? Well I decided to live with it, even though the install was also not nearly as good as before. Well I was plagued by the lack of felt on the inside window guide issue. The tint basically got ruined but I didn’t really care because I hated it and it really didn’t go with the theme for my car.

I decided to go with FormulaONE Pinnacle to replace the Huper. I figured I’d have to go to LA Tint since there were no other installers in the area. I was pleasantly surprised to find Absolute Perfection near my work listed as a dealer on Pinnacle’s website. On their site, I noticed quite a few 6speed guys I know. I stopped by AP and spoke with Tim Cooke. Tim’s customer service was excellent and he even went as far as to tint a piece of glass for me to show me the brand difference for my windshield application. I decided on 50 on the windshield with 30 on all the windows. Tim also looked at what i had and told me the reason my Huper looked different was that it was a totally different line of film much cheaper than the Huper ceramic I used to have.

The install is excellent. Tim also installed the automotive moleskin to my window guides and removed my old film. I would say the tint job is probably even better than my e46 granted that had the difficult dot matrix issue. AP also does full wraps as well as clear bra. Better pics to follow…

Darby, your car looks outstanding. Why not come up to Maple Lawn Saturday mornings?

 

Tim has done 4 cars for me and I like his work...I use the ceramic F1 product and it does a nice job with privacy and temp reduction... I also like the air blue 80 product. Tim is meticulous and careful, and a true pro.

 

Hey Bob

I've been a bit busy. I went to Hunt Valley last week with a couple of friends. I might stop by tomorrow.

 

nice tint job, I am going to check to see if they have any installers near me.

 

Tim and Bill are excellent guys! They have done a lot of work for myself on family's vehicles and business wise. Fantastic and professional guys!

They also recently tinted Dulles Airport!!

Bill has done a few cars of mine in the past as well, top notch!

 

Yeah these guys are a cut above...and best of all they have a nice pit beef place accross the street...enjoy lunch while you get your car tinted!

 

Wow....everyone being reviewed here I've used too! Could not agree more with the reviews of Tim's work, product they use and customer service. I've had Tim do two of my cars and he does an awesome job! Looks great too! And Tim does not mind answering questions and explaining things to you..I had alot of questions...I always do! LOL!

+1 for Tim and AP!

 

How far is Sykesville from Tysons? Are they mobile? Maybe we can do a local crew to get them done back to back? Thoughts?

 

It's around an hour via google. They are mobile as they do work at dealerships and tint business and home windows. I can speak with Tim to see if he would be interested in meeting you guys down there or put him in touch with you to discuss setting something up. Just let me know!

 

Mike - that would be great! Thx!

 

Spoke with Tim and it might be possible to do the mobile thing. Would need to work out a location, how many people, what tint, etc. if we can work out details Tim might be able to do a mobile thing. Or we can do a cruise to his place/shop and take it over 1 day! My car is done but I may do the windshield to darken it up.

Let me know!
