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

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.

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.
