I think if you have light interior colors then lighter tint will look even lighter. Also, on a black car tint tends to look a little darker. I did 35% all around on my black e90 and it looked awesome but I did 20% on my new space gray and I think its perfect! I think anything darker than 20% starts getting ghetto.

[Trooper9009]

thanks bro....will try to get this done asap...

[chad57]

Here's my old bimmer with 35%





And here is the new one with 20%

[UdubBadger]

looks so much better cuz the shadow line trim helps connect the tint to the rest of the car. Old on had the silver trim that looks hideous.

[UdubBadger]

oh and josh, do me a favor and maybe see if you can contact your guy and see if he knows whats available in the next month.

[Trooper9009]

35% it is then...

[Trooper9009]

Looks like there is a 2 weeks wait at TNT , guess will have it to wait till then..

[UdubBadger]

[rmlink]

Yeah, TNT was pretty busy today. I had to book 2 1/2 weeks ahead! They said they start getting really busy around March and it last till almost November. I think 35% is perfect for me. Now I just have to install my pedals and dp's before the big meet.

Seth, where did you get your trim blacked out or did you do it yourself?

[UdubBadger]

BMW did it for me, came that way stock

I tried doing the same thing....fuckin' site.

How's it going Seth? Can you send me the contact information of the guy who fixes rims?

[UdubBadger]

Yep his name is Mike Broderick with Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists and his cell is 608-333-6292. He does a lot of work for Zimbrick and he can either come to you or you can meet him somewhere and wait.

[Whammy]

Do you know what he charges?

[UdubBadger]

between $80 and $125 per wheel depending on how bad it looks. I had one that was pretty f-d up in like 4 spots and it was the full $125. I had another one that was just 1 spot and an easy fix and it was $80 (however this one was a winter wheel and off the car so I just gave it to him and it took him a week or so to get it back to me, maybe why it was cheaper).

[Whammy]

Good to know. Thanks!

How's your mom?

[UdubBadger]

haha, shes fine now... surgery is a week from today
