I'm toying with the idea of mildly tintint the tails and the orange front reflectors on my black 1m. Any thoughts and or pics?

Why not just do it properly and order the Blackline rear tail lights, and easy to have sent over from Europe.

That's what I did and they look great. There are ppl looking for our stock LCI LED lights so it shouldnt be difficult to sell.

I'm gonna go with rice on this one, played out Y2K retro rice at that.

Very mild = Nice IMO
The "tint" doesn't look aftermarket at all. It sorta just tones down the red a little.

In the first pic we had "tint" on my Z4 M Coupe and I believe on the second one it was one step darker (for a photo shoot).

I had no idea you could even get blacklines for our cars. Where are you guys sourcing your blacklines?

Thanks for the pics!

+1. Be careful to choose right one when you order; there are two options looking the same from web site photos: one is for cars with Xenon headlight system equipped and another one is for base halogen equipped cars (in some markets).

Do the blacklines, they look amazing on every 1 I've seen so far!
