18'' Moda R6s...tell me what you think.

[Disasterful]

Just got my rims and tint, tell me what you think.

 

[Tom]

That looks really slick, welcome aboard.

 

[stinkfinger]

looks great - what kind of tint did you get and what shade?

-Stink

 

[Disasterful]

I got this place called Eclipse to do it. 28% on the sides, and 18% on the back.

 

[Disasterful]

not sure on the specifics though...I could probably find my receipt and get the details.

The rims kinda make it look like a IS300 at first glance.

Not trying to insult because I love the rims... just maybe not on the bimmer.

 

[Wadula]

i like that style. any one has a pic of a bimmer 3er with borbet C?? and i am talking E36 or E46. on E30 i already saw them.

 

[xmas63]

Both look great!

 

[VANCE]

THAT LOOKS GOOD

 

[JamieD22]

Nice, are those BMW centercaps I see?

 

[sweetbimmer2000]

It looks very nice!!! I'm so jealous...I am thinking about getting tints myself, but I'm afraid of getting ticketed. Is it legal for you have to have it? I have a Titanium Silver 323CI and tints would make it look bad ass...don't you think???

 

[stinkfinger]

If you get some high quality tint, not the cheap dye kind, it'll look great with silver (my silver one looks pimpin').

[sweetbimmer2000]

I'm sure , but what should I do when Pennsylvania only allows you an insanely small amount. Go for it??? I was thinking about 20%....what do you have?

 

[stinkfinger]

California allows 0% on the front passenger windows. I did for my back window, 30%, rear passenger windows, 40%, and front passenger windows 50%. Supposedly, California cops don't really pull you over if they can easily see into your car, so its not just about how dark your tint is, but also how clear.

I just checked out Penn state laws and it looks as though there are ways to get around law:

I slapped down some dough and got high quality install job and high end tint (Huper Optik) so its VERY clear, yet still does the job and looks great (see picture below):

Depending on your interior color (mine is grey), the tint will look darker or not as dark. Because of my light interior, it looks a little lighter then someone who has black leather seats. I highly reccomend finding a good tint store in your area (which might take some time) and see what the consensus is. The tint installers will know best. A good place to find tint shops:

center caps

Yeah, I picked up the center caps from Bavarian Autosport. Whaat, they don't look stock? =)

 

[Disasterful]

Tint %

Know that the lower the number, the darker the tint. The number is actually the amount of light the tint will let through. 35% is the legal limit where I live, but I paid a little extra to get it darker =) The popo's will never be able to tell.

 

[sweetbimmer2000]

Wow

I think I know everything there is to know about tints.... Thanks for the education Stinkfinger. Both your cars look pretty sick I will have to post pics as soon as I get it done....

 

[JamieD22]

Damn Stink... I need some Type 44's... Oh, and some tint wouldn't hurt - maybe I'll bite the bullet this summer.

 

[stinkfinger]

You won't regret it....
