Tail tints and new shoes!

Sick of seeing everyone with VMR's thought I'd do a little different! Thoughts?
What do you guys think about getting a roof spoiler? Too civic-y?
Comments on the interior lights and tinted tails? I had to find LED's with the same 605nm wavelength of orange light that BMW uses for an exact match for the inside haha. Sorry about the crappy phone pictures.

Wheels look good. Roof spoilers are "to each it's own" and the interior pics ,well you can't see much but I get what u did... Lci tails are better looking without tint. Tint your front windows though.

I bought the car with front windows tinted but had to take em off :'( not allowed any tint on front in this province...

Its a subtle tint on the tails actually, just so they'd appear a slightly darker tone to match the space gray

Not digging the tinted taillights. I had mine tinted before and realized they look much better bright red. I also like my interior to be bright but I do like your idea of matching the interior lightning. As for roof spoilers, I had both ACS and Hamann, I like the Hamann more than I did ACS because of the aggressiveness of Hamann.

Yep...been there done that.

The only car color that I thought they looked good on was space gray or some other gray color, and it seems you fit the requirement!

Don't do a roof spoiler, but do a trunk spoiler.

Are those gunmetal tinted from Lamin-X, or some other source?

That interior lighting is on all the time when I'm driving, still have the bright maps and rear dome in case I need bright light to look for something.

Hmm I think I might look into the Hamann, still undecided.

That's a mystery question, I had these shipped over from Toronto. My dad picked them up from someone selling them, I have no idea who makes them or what model they are.

Put on some Pilot Sport 3's and the wheel combo weighed far less than the stock with runflats. Love how they feel

I like the tails. Not too dark at all. A bit more aggressive. Nice touch

Well i need rims for my bmw 328ix and i want 18s because 19s will get too big and I'm thinking of going non run flats, too expensive.

I decided to stick with the 18's too, I live in Saskatoon and the roads here are absolutely horrible with potholes and bumps everywhere.

There more reason to go non-runflat than just the price. The ride is a lot smoother, the wheels are a lot lighter which is better for acceleration, and flat repairs are much easier. I just keep an air compressor in the car all the time in case I have a flat and need to get to a shop without a spare.
