+1 Madico Charcool 35%.
Cool pics...35% certainly looks good.
Have you got any hassle from the cops since you're in soCal?
Thanks,

The angel eyes currently available will not fit your 08 550i. You'll have to wait a bit.
You mean the Angel eyes 2.0 won't work on the 550i
Thanks for the update.

Thanks...I also planning not to mount the license plate (specially the front) until I get pull over.
Hopefully in about a year or two...
The front looks so clean without the plate!!! :thumbsdown:

How did you get them duel pipe exhaust?
Is it another aftermarket mod?
Did BMW void your warranty on the emission system after you changed it out?
Aftermarket true quad setup from RDSport. It's a cat-back exhaust system. I'll find out if it voids my warranty or not soon. I'll be taking it in for servicing soon.

Thanks for the update.
No existing aftermarket angel eyes will work with the 08 e60s yet. Personally, I think the stock angel eyes on the 08 e60s are fine.

Stay away from Madico Tint... http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=96010

Preferred:
LLUMAR ATR < has nice reflection.. no issues so far
Fomula One Pinnacle
Huper <has some ghosting issues too

You can get Metal tint on sides, and non-metallic on rear windsheild for best look and protection.

The thread mentions Madico Ceramic, which have been known to have some issues in the past. I have Madico Charcool on my car since last year and it's been fine. Just stay away from full metal films because it might interfere with radio reception and GPS.

welcome and congrats on the 550. as for tint, depending where in socal you are, here's the thread at the time i had tint put on my e60.
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=window+tint
i went with a dyed charcoal tint 35% all around. no problems with it at all. during the day its still see-through and at night, one could barely see through. most recommended for tint would be formula one pinnacle tint or huper optik. and just stay away from metallic tints in general. the shop that i went to was in long beach. good luck with all your mods.

I'm over in the Valley and got some good leads.
Thanks NeRwEEZy.
