Coupeit88 · 02-28-2007, 11:59 PM

Iono about you, but I personally dunno if you should smoke out the tail lights. I've seen one, and unless you wanna rice up your car, it really depreciates the.. personal value of a BMW. But it's up to you. I think if you search, you'll find a car with a smoked/tinted taillight e92 on this forum.

Damn why does every1 do that here? They make you go find and search...I dont have time for that I just need some help and a pic or a link?

ironic · 03-01-2007, 10:10 AM

there were some photos up on this forum before, 1 black and 1 white coupe

I think Picus did this mod. check out his garage.

Coupeit88 · 03-01-2007, 11:56 AM

instead of posting a new thread you could have just searched for the info or pic you needed

honestly i hate the look of smoked lights on a BMW. it looks so riced up and i would never do it! So tinted is the way to go

when you say black and white theme does this mean... tinted tail lights, black rims... and black ass tints including a light tint on the windshield? cause that sounds SEXY ass hell to me...

Don Nguyen · 03-01-2007, 12:40 PM

tint the tail lights! That's what I did with mine with lamin-x, which I am having a special on btw(check out the vendor forum). It will end up protecting your tail lights and can be easily removed if you end up wanting to switch back. I actually damaged one of my corner lights before when I tried to tint it, the spray can chemical ate some of the plastic and the paint remover I used didn't help either.

a light tint might look nice.

looks horrible

SoCal335i · 03-21-2007, 04:51 PM

I went with a light smoke so you can still see the red thru in the daytime. Everyone that doesnt like it can suck my b@lls

Not Ur Avg 3 · 03-21-2007, 05:33 PM

if ur gonna do a lotta other mods
then go for it, smoked tails look agressive and good imo along with other mods

wyrm11 · 03-21-2007, 05:44 PM

They can look ok but I wouldn't make them too dark. Makes the car look kinda ghetto/ricey (take your pick) if it's too dark.

SoCal335i's looks ok...plus I don't want to suck his balls...
