Just had tint put on and install the new black kidney grills. What do you guys think?
Thanks to bimmerspeed and my530i for DIY posts.
The grill install took about 30 minutes, maybe even less. The side and bottom clips gave me a little trouble, but if you stick to it they will unlock.

I think you should never exceed 38% tint on any window on a black car with a black interior because it goes from classy to murdered-out. I personally think the tint is way too dark. Its also a mix tint of different %'s in front and rear. o.O
