Does anyone have IND's light tinted side grille on their AW?

I need to decide between clear vs. light tint on a gloss black backing. Thanks!

Hey bro. I have the "light" tinted on my 1M (it's the middle one). I'll get a pic up tonight. Mike.

You know that there also is a "super light" option, right? Could help solving your hesitation. Worked for me, I ordered them.

I also would like to see a pic on AW. There is closeup pic posted somewhere but I also want to see the whole car with the black and clear if possible.

Thanks.

Check under the Ind thread in classifieds...

I did order the black tinted glass and will then utilize the original glass as an option...

I've seen them on their own, but I'd like to see how they complement the aw.

Yeah, I've seen clear, but super light tint is still yet to be seen.

it's basically like clear, but not so white. very tasteful. sorry, no pics yet. if you're not one for the dark tints, it's a good choice since you will still have the clears to use from the original part.

Guys, go to IND's thread in the Classified's and find the post #112 of Nate from IND. Those are the "super" light tint indicators when they were first launched. Plus, the car that IND prepared under the thread M after M..has those as well (it is noted wrong in that thread as the "light" tint but I confirmed this little mistake with Nate, they are super lights).

I don't recall a photo on an AW or BSM though.

That is the primary reason for this thread. See my posts.

Is it easy to switch out the light? That may be a good alternativeto get superlight tintand have my stock clears as a backup if i dont like em.

According to ind it is easy to switch. I did go for the dark tint and then will swap to the clear if its to much on my AW. Have put my order for the side markers and will get the car first week of January. Someone on the original ind side marker threat saids it was just a torq screw to switch the glass. But I have not personally seen them so just repeating info on this forum.

Sorry it took so long for the picks fellas. This is with the medium tint, which is actually called "light". Mike

Thanks so much, Mike! It looks great. I think super light may do the trick for me, but I'd love to see it on the car.
