My Montego Blue with 20% Tint (in the sun this time)

Here are a few pics I took on the way into work. They have not been modified at all except to block out the license plate.

WOw,..Looks Great w/ the tint. Whenever I see nice Montego pics like these, It makes me re-think my color selection.
Have you thought about the blackout grills? Im thinkin they would look really good w/ the tint and shadowline trim.

Shadowline grill and H&R Sports are on order.

I really want a grill with Shadowline border but same chrome teeth like the stock (needs some depth, and it matches the headlights chrome). After I get the Shadowline I will play with the stock one if I do not like the look.

You know, I was set on SGM until I spent a few too many minutes looking at your pictures. Why are you messing with my head? What did I ever do to you? Don't you know I'm in the 11th hour before production begins? Why's it gotta be like that...

Damn nice Templedogg

Hahaha...that was the hardest choice for me too!!! I love SGM as well and it was a hard choice between them. The Montego does look way better on the 135i than the 335i though, so I very happy with my decision.

I think:
Montego = a little more sporty
SGM = a little more class and professionalism

It really looks good. Guess it would look good on a SGM 1er also.
Is there any downside to tint? Does it tend to peel off with age?

This is new to me so was wondering what the range is for tint. 10 - 60%
20% looks perfect.

Man, why didnt I order montego blue.....

Templedogg, your car looks really, really good. MB competes with AW for best color on the 135.
