Opinion: OEM vs. Depo Blacklines

ACFoulstone · 04-13-2011, 11:14 AM

I have a TiAg E90 with tinted windows and hypersilver 19" V710's on the way. I can't decide whether to go with OEM blacklines or Depo blacklines. I definitely don't want the Depo LED taillights, just to throw that out there. Those just are not my style. I know the Depos are tinted darker than the OEM. I can't decide which will look better. Price isn't really an issue on this decision. I just want what will look best. I'm inherently indecisive, so I'm looking for other people's opinions! Thanks for the input!

Depends on what else you have on the car. If you are doing the blackout theme, then I would go with the DEPOs which have a darker tint. Otherwise, can't go wrong with OE Blacklines.

Here they are on TiAG:

Those are OEM? I like that look a lot.

Same color and currently struggling with the same decision!

But I think Nick just sold me on the OEM w/ his post. Although I haven't been able to find a decent pic of a TiAg with the Depo kit installed.

Get OEM.

For TIAg color, oem is the best option. Depot is to dark and will look out of place.
