My Ride: 2006 BMW 525I/TITANIUM SILVER METALLIC/GREY LEATHER INTERIOR/EURO RED REFLECTORS/20% TINT/EURO STICKER/BMW CCA STICKER
Took a few pics of the first small modifications. I did 20% tint all around. Debadged the 525i because I just think it is a cleaner look. I made a custom black vinyl overlay. I personally think it looks good. Just leaving it until I get Nicks euro sticker or something better comes along. I tried to make a custom tint for it. It looked good but it looked like the orange was smoked which some people may or may not fancy. Was thinking of tinting the taillights slightly. Not sure though. It is easily done with the tint film used for headlights (similar to window tint) and a razor blade, tape, some other things. If a lot of people are interested in these overlays I may consider selling them. If you are in NY/NJ and want this done Id be happy to show you the place that helped me with mine.

paper...wow. This is what it has come to with these orange things! The horror! Yeh thats why I did it I am putting the matte black grille...black rims with a chrome lip, putting a very very slight tint over the headlights and over the black part...as well as possibly smoking the tailights (only the red part veryyyy slightly). Ill post pics when its done. Try to find a shop that does vinyl...im telling you mine would look good on your car. Theres a post about someone making these as well so stay tuned for that.
