My Ride: 2008 550i sport package
thanks!
I don't know about tinting anything other than the reflectors... I don't want to get noticed! Yep not allowed here I believe. I will do my windows though.. fingers crossed lol.
One other thing I'd like are the 12mm spacers for the rear wheels. They don't seem to match how flush the front wheels are..

I was thinking of going the same all around, and then using the shades in the car if I want a little darker in the back...

My Ride: Alpine E60, '09 535i-Premium, Sport and Comfort Access PackageMods: Lux H8 V3 Angel Eyes, Weisslicht LED license plate lights, Interior LED lights, RPI Scoop, Matte Black Grills, Smoked LED side markers & side reflectors, 35% tint all around, and a 3
I did 35% all around and haven't been hassled at all, even by my buddies who are cops. In the end you usually won't get pulled over for tint but for something else and then you get tagged for tint if it is really dark if you give them attitude.

Got the window tint done and some shots of the tinted reflectors on the car outside, so of course I'll take another opportunity to whore my pics 
It is 35% 3M tint all around.
and a cool shot that was taken on Mulholland that I purchased. This is before any of the mods. I think the rear tires look bad ass
take care thanks for looking!

I'm liking the tinted reflectors! I've been meaning to spray them with tint, as well as the side marker lights. I tried using tinted vinyl on the reflectors but it didn't stick very well. Switching to matte black grilles is one of the first mods I did to my 550! I also took off the "550i" badge from the rear for a clean look, but may spray them with black plasti-dip...already blacked out the keyhole on the back!

Yep, I also tried using the vinyl on the reflectors first. I got one on just right and it was nice, but I think I was a couple mm off on the other, and it caught wind and flew away.. the spray is the way to go for sure IMO.
