E90 Amber Tint cover for headlights

mrquick68 · 11-22-2010, 01:01 PM

anyone selling these anymore? I heard longtran was, but i've PM'd him to no avail. Anywhere else i can get these? Local tint shop wants $100 large. BOO on that.

Flame away guys, i know a ton of you hate the amber tint covers that go on the headlights, but i ain't paying big bucks for ripping the light apart. plus its easily reversable if i don't like the look. I believe it looks much better than stock, and will match nicely with blacked front end, tint, dark wheels, and blacklines.

Thanks for the help

I bought mine from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...Q5fAccessories

The seller also has them in gloss black. They fit perfectly.

No issues. I had them on for about a year... no peeling or bubbles. I installed them with the help of soapy water and a hair dryer.

Off the top of my head... grills, mirror caps, B-pillars, spoiler, interior, emblems, wheel caps, splitters (never installed because a hubcap hit my bumper).

Bimmian CF vinyl overlays. I'm planning to replace them with real ones soon.

You have to ask him for gloss black or else you'll get the smoked.
