Lose the wheels, drop, keep the chrome trim.

Looking good, though!

A few things would make it look really good, drop, mtech bumper, shadow trim.

What % tint is that? I am getting mine tinted this week and am looking for some ideas.
NICE LOOKING with the tint and the chrome on the windows, breaks up all the black.
The wheels on the other hand...

Tints are 20% in the back and 35% in the front. Definitly recomended if you live in new york. On my 328 i used to have i had limo tint all around even partial windshield and although i did love the privacy haha it wasnt worth it driving into the city fdaily id probably get pulled over at least once every two weeks not to mention visibility was a pain in the a$$. I had to roll down my windows backing out of the driveway because i couldnt see my sideview mirrors. I have no problems now and havent gotten pulled over yet knock on wood

Thanks. I was thinking that was what ya had. I just got rid of my e36 with 40% and 35% front to rear. Fortunantly here in Missouri I can do 20% all the way around. I like the light variation with 20 and 35.

Very subtle and classy, yet it conveys the message that you're a car guy. I really like the rims. Keep the chrome window surround, it matches the rims. A drop would complete the look.
+1

BTW, what % tint did you get on your windows? Looks nice! Also, what brand/model of window tint?
