Tinted backlights

eyedee · 12-29-2014, 03:01 AM

I tinted my backlights and reflectors 10% black. In my opinion it helps the look a lot.

Regards from Hamburg/Germany. Chris

That Yellow Black theme looks awesome...Tint looks good too

Blindside_137 · 12-29-2014, 07:07 AM

Your car looks amazing. But the tail lights are too dark IMO.

Subtle tail light tint is the only kind that should be done I think.

More pics please!

Jay-K · 12-29-2014, 07:21 AM

Nice

JustChris · 12-29-2014, 07:26 AM

Looks great, wouldn't do it on my BSM but that does look better.

Andrew115 · 12-29-2014, 08:25 AM

Is this a DIY project or does this require some experience? I would like to do some light tint.

eyedee · 12-29-2014, 08:31 AM

Hi, I advised my dealer to do ist. I wouldn't do it myself...

Powerbeast · 12-29-2014, 09:19 AM

No man, the car looks great but it would look much better without the tinted tails.

NorCal f80 · 12-29-2014, 09:29 AM

karbonphiber · 12-29-2014, 11:24 AM

looks good.

I would have kept the OEM roundels though

Doctor///M · 12-29-2014, 01:33 PM

AY with the M-Performance bits looks stunning! Agreed with keeping the OEM roundels.

VMRWheels · 12-29-2014, 04:33 PM

Looks good with all the other dark accessories

F80AYM3 · 12-30-2014, 06:25 AM

nice!

Bahn360Photo · 12-30-2014, 12:45 PM

nice! tail lights too dark, if they were smoked then maybe but IMO stock look best

Alen E90 · 01-01-2015, 04:39 AM

IMO you should get your tails tinted "cherried" style meaning just a very light and subtle tint.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

m3rxn · 01-01-2015, 10:55 AM

looks good

in the pass we had to open it and painted from the inside to have it this clean.

masarp75 · 02-06-2015, 03:07 AM

Car looks great with all that black parts. But i would keep oem look of the lights. I never liked dark tailights on car.... I see you like black

nice HD man

Is it Breakout?

catch · 02-06-2015, 08:55 AM

not my cup of tea. I do however love the Euro front bumper with no reflectors.

Swancoat · 02-06-2015, 01:26 PM

10% on tail Lights? Enjoy getting rear-ended.
