first off, let me congratulate you on your purchase and 2ndly its illegal. 35% i think is too dark for the front windshield IMO the darkest i would go is 50% but then again, i wouldnt even think about tinting the front. as for the mods section, shadowline trim can be done with vinyl for cheap or buy a replacement at getbmwparts. any lights are a must get from john @ motorcepts (great guy to deal with btw), grills and m5tech/mtech you should get from trinity (great prices and amazing customer service). coilovers (either KW or ksport) & wheels depending on what you like mesh design or spokes) you should get from Michael @ acuteperformance

Hey dlima0284 i am currently looking to get my windows tinted but the quotes have been ridiculous. I am seriously considering waiting to i visit my sister in NY to get it done and save about $100. Would you mind telling me where you got yours done?
