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...

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 ![Laughing](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/laughing.gif)
It is 35% 3M tint all around.

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.
