    While I like my blue color choice every time I see this I sorta wish I had went with this color choice instead, also sometimes the copper looking color does the same for me...aarrgghhh.

    It's funny you say that - I feel the same way about the blue. Ultimately I decided on Grigio because my MINI S was blue and I always regretted not getting the dark grey. So I went opposite this time. Rame is an awesome looking color. My dealer didn't have any on the lot. Had I actually seen one in person it may have swayed me in that direction. Don't see very many in that color. Oddly - my dealer told me that the least popular color in their studio is Grigio. I though that was interesting.

    Looks hot, love grigio, I almost bought a prima in that color, but it looks even better with no decals on it like you have it, looks super clean.

    Color Stable is the specific 3M tint that I chose. Details here: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...omotive_Films/

    Installed price was $210 - they installed in about 30 minutes flat. Rear window is one piece.

    Thanks for the compliments! Next mod in the coming weeks will be the Borla cat back!

    No strip on the windshield. I've never really been a fan of how it looks. Maryland's limit is 35%. Using the 35% M which is a true 35% - I'm sitting a few % below legal.
