Regarding smoking out the tails.......
Do most paint, use tint or simply order a set that is already darker (if so, where from).
I would like to do this to my car but am not sure of how to procede and don't want them too dark. Subtle yet sinister, if you get my meaning.
Remember, I don't exactly live in 'mod-country' and am very hesetant to turn my baby over to any of the local shops here in the LR.
Thanks as usual,
B

JTT does good work.
You could also try niteshades(nightshades?) and DIY.

Any one have a picture of a white car with the tinted tail lights?

Here are some pics of my car. I had them do a light tint not to dark. It would compare to 35% tint. http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=52035&hl=

Just got my quote from Jon's Tinted Tails....
Sounds like a good deal and I'll get my side markers done as well. I'll have to be with out my ride for a few days though.

I think it takes a bit of an aggressive exterior for a white car to pull off smoked. My personal opinion is it needs to be a subtle smoke. Not super super dark.
That white e60 with smoked tails does look good.
