Matching BMW X5

[Kruppa]

2014 BMW X5, rear factory glass meters 18%.  Installed 50% F1 Pinnacle which was lightest offered at my local shop for max UV protection, glass shatter safety etc. so now they meter 9%.

 

The front was done with F1 Pinnacle 18% so it's noticeably lighter and driving me a bit crazy and it's also definitely more green of a hue vs the rears which are true black in color.  Suggestions on a specific brand of tint with blackest color and 10% VLT? (I have a medical exemption waiver in MA).  One place near me carries Global HP 10 but the installation job was really bad on a prior vehicle and I would never go back.  I'm on South Shore in MA if you have any shop recommendations as well.

 

Thank you!

Any HP film will have a little bit of a "sheen" to it due to the metal which IMO is not a great match.  On the rear they should of done Llumar AIR 80 giving you an end result of 14 which would be a better match with the F1 Pinnacle 18 which is 14/15 on the glass.  With that being said, see if anyone carries Madico Wincos 10 in your area...should be a good match to the rear.  Another option is Solargard UP 10, but I can't tell from photos what coloring the film has to it.  So would have to see in person to see if the coloring is a good match or not.

I like doing pinnacle 30/front 50 rear. It's the best look I can provide in/out. Looks classy. Throw some air 80 on the windshield and call it a day. Interior color affects appearance lighter/darker. It's a challenge.

Top pic is 30 front only bottom, is 30 over privacy. Sadly I don't remember to take pics of my combo

Personally we like to do 3M CS on the BMW X5's...great match with 20.  If we do anything on the rear, we either do Llumar AIR 80 or 3M Crystalline 90.
