2007 E60 550i Sport. I'm torn between 35% tint all the way around, angel eyes, and HID Fogs. Just want your thoughts

On another note, I was on EBay yesterday and the seller bmrparts is selling what is supposedly a Hammann Carbon Fiber front lip spoiler for around $250 has anyone bought and had this mod installed?

My vote would be for angel eyes - they just look so sweet.

LoL I can't ride that dirty in NC 35% is legal and will give it a cleaner look.
Although, I can't say that 15% wouldn't look awesome!

Totally disagree. First of all, 35% gives enough reduction of sun on the inside and looks really good from the outside. If you car has light interior, then 35% may look a bit too light. That being said, anything darker than 35% really impairs your ability to see well at night. If you got into an accident at night and tint was darker than the legal limits (which is usually 35% but varies state to state) then your ass would be in a whole lot of trouble and rightfully so.

I would say go with the ae's first, HID fogs second, and tint last from your list.

As for the ebay hamann lip I heard good and bad. Sometimes the fitment sucks sometimes the fitment is good.

Tints wil provide some measure of sun protection for you and your cars interior.

35% is too light, i had it on a previous car. i have 20% now and it is fine, though if you are in the country boondocks where there is poor lighting, sometimes you might find yourself rolling down your windows to see around corners and such. it is actually a very tolerable level of tint in the city though, day or night. i highly doubt any cops will care if you had 20% over 35%. 20% is not legal here either.
