135i with blacked out lights.

RobLS · 05-05-2008, 04:06 PM

To me, the tail end of the one is where it gets a lot of its character, I couldn't black them out. Side markers intrigued me a little, but still, stock is hot enough. There are other things I would do, but stock would be there for quite some time.

gomezs2 · 05-05-2008, 05:20 PM

stock was nice but once I black out the grill it will make everything pop.

RobLS · 05-05-2008, 05:22 PM

I can't modify the grill of a BMW, in my mind thats one thing that has to stay they way they made it.

gomezs2 · 05-05-2008, 05:30 PM

I'm changing it to match the shadow trim that comes with the sports package. If not I would have kept it.

ichiban · 05-05-2008, 05:33 PM

definitely get matte black grills. And do a 30% tint on your headlights, and some black wheels with a polished lip.

gomezs2 · 05-05-2008, 05:44 PM

Im stay awat from tinting the headlights

gomezs2 · 05-05-2008, 05:45 PM

oops!, Im staying away from tinting the headlights

woodman650 · 05-06-2008, 11:52 AM

anyone know how to pop the light off to do some home-tinting projects?

gomezs2 · 05-06-2008, 12:20 PM

As I posted earlier the glue that was used on the lights is silicon based so you can't just heat them up and they come apart. This is why I couldn't do anything with those refectors

woodman650 · 05-06-2008, 05:34 PM

well how'd you get the rear lights tinted? The tint is on the outside of the lights?

gomezs2 · 05-06-2008, 05:37 PM

yes on the outside

woodman650 · 05-06-2008, 05:38 PM

oh. that sucks.

gomezs2 · 05-06-2008, 05:52 PM

no, you can't even tell

kevintran · 05-06-2008, 05:53 PM

i think of them as a downgrade, sorry.

Rye · 05-06-2008, 06:33 PM

IMO, no. Sorry.

gomezs2 · 05-06-2008, 07:16 PM

hey TEXAS good call on the license plate frame

Berduderunner · 05-07-2008, 08:04 PM

looks hot!

gomezs2 · 05-07-2008, 08:06 PM

THANKS, I'll post the pics when I get the grills changed

woodman650 · 05-08-2008, 09:11 AM

oh no, I mean it sucks that you can't get inside because I wanted to do spot tinting and that's not really practical on the outside. oh well.

can you tint your taillights at all in CA? anyone know?

TunedM2C · 05-08-2008, 09:15 AM

I'd like to see it on JB.

1ForAll · 05-08-2008, 04:01 PM

looks good! I have my lamin-x coming in to tint the rears and the fronts.

gomezs2 · 05-08-2008, 09:57 PM

thanks, saw yours looks good. Im in the middle of doing the same with my rear. Thought I would be first but guess not. I'll post as soon as I pick it up
