Hey everyone,

I have a black e60 and am planning on completely blacking it out. I am purchasing some black rims in the next few weeks (still undecided on exactly which rims I want) and am now looking into tinting my tail lights.

Bimmian.com sells tinted tail light kit for $60 that is made by Laminex. I also found a few on Amazon for just $25, they are made by Rvinyl. Any experience with these two companies?

Also, I found a picture of an e60 with a great tail light kit that left the clear part of it at the top un-tinted. Is this a custom job or is there a specific kit I can order to get these? Here is a picture.



Any and all help/opinions are appreciated.

Thanks everyone,
Matt

Just tint the red section and leave the white section alone. I personally am not into covering up the beautiful tail lights especially if they are LCI tails.

Yea I was thinking of doing that. I don't have the steadiest hands tho so I don't know if I could pull off the cutting necessary haha.

I hear you on the tail lights though. I like them, but I love blacked out cars. Something about them, and that one in the picture to me is the most magnificent e60 i've seen.

Thanks though,

I appreciate it.

i got tint from Bimmian.com, i really like it.. but take your time puting it on!

Thanks Baggman. Do you think it would be too difficult to cut it so that the clear part of the tail lights were un-tinted? I'd hate to spend $60 and ruin them because I couldn't cut it well.

And how dark are they? I want them to be blacked out like in the picture above. I don't want them to look slightly tinted.

stickercity.com or lamin-x.com, they have pre cut for the e60 and you can choose how dark you want it tinted

This is the best way to do it, so its completely reversible. I actually bought the eBay knock off version of the Lamin-X (Ive had real Lamin-X before and the quality is the same as the knock off but for a 1/3 of the price). The knock version is like $15 and covers the whole light but I just mask off the line between the red and white and it is an easy smooth cut, and I went with the light smoke as it is very subtle but makes it look much more aggressive. See me pics in this thread, you can see the taillights... https://5series.net/forums/topic/116...1#entry1375654

I used to have my pre-lci painted on the red portion. Now that I have LCI's I don't want to touch them, they are too pretty
