My Ride: 10 Melbourne Red X6M
This mod cost me a total of $17 and its completely removeable so I thought I'd give it a try to see how it looks. Its basically a laser cut sheet of window tint to fit our headlights. Its a light tint so its not totally blacked out, more like a smoke effect. any thoughts or comments? Yay or nay?

Actually, its not that dark so the light output is just about the same. As far as the look, I'm on the fence about it. I like the stealth look too but I just wanted to get any opinions to see if it looks too ricey. But then again you kinda have to see it in person to really make a decision. I like it though.

I think it looks good on a black car.
Any other color, and it wouldn't work so well.
Now you need to lose the chrome on the grill, and you'll be even cooler.

I like the stealth look but only good on a black car.
But I don`t like it it just makes the car look blacker and 5er is design with alot of lines which is very sexy.
You just can not see the design of the line and shape.
sorry not me
