I'm looking to get tints but don't want to go too dark and get hassled by cops. Are the cops up here pretty strict?

I'm thinking either 50% or 35% all around. Car is Le Mans Blue for reference.

Thanks in advance.

california tints in rosemead go 35% you should be okay!

sup fellas!

Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Reggie, currently attending SAC state (for about a year now). Im going to be in the area more often due to my school schedule so thought i would get to know the sac people a bit more. Looking forward to upcoming events or little gatherings.

I did drive an AW 335i but sold it and currently driving a 5 series now. Reason why im still on e90 forum, people with e90/e92's are way cooler and are usually around my age.. lol.

any upcoming local events i should keep a look out for?

Welcome, what 5 series you got? It seems most of us don't do too many meets and primarily just meet at the track.

Choose to "black" out the chrome trim and side markers the other night. I think they turned out good. Spacers next then a drop. Need to choose what to do with the wheels, they are growing on me....

nice!!! where did you get the black wrapping material? was that your first time doing it? i've been trying to do mine but no time... more info please?
what spacers do you need? i have a pair of 10mm laying around

Activ · 09-18-2011, 03:05 PM

A buddy of mine got some (from here http://www.bmwshadowline.com/ ) cause we were going to do his S5 but choose to not do it on it since he has a white S5. This was my first time doing trim but I did help do a full body wrap on a A5 so I knew the basic's. If you need help or anything just let me know =)

How much would you want for the 10mm?

Activ · 09-18-2011, 11:55 PM

are u living in antelope/roseville area? just came across i was coming back to Sac on I-80 from roseville and spotted a JB E92 335i going towards roseville direction... car was hella clean... it was 5:15ish

Syndicategt · 09-19-2011, 11:40 AM

Yay sold my old rims!

Does anyone want to buy a used set of Nitto Invos for cheap?

235/35/19 265/30/19 Fronts have about 35-40% left and rears are about 50%.

*Also, who knows a tire shop that does a good job and won't scratch my new babies? Looking to have the Roadforce balanced and NO2 filled.

Ahh just what I was looking for! Great reviews and people mentioned they don't ding new custom wheels. N02 is a plus

tahoerdr · 09-20-2011, 07:36 PM

America's Tire Co in Roseville mounted my VS8's with Hunter Roadforce and took a lot of care handling them, no dings. I think it was around $180 mount & balance out the door. Great service throughout 3 sets of tires & repairs. Talk to Shaun for a quote, he's an enthusiast that knows a lot about our cars.

Activ · 09-20-2011, 11:39 PM

Anyone going to

EuroSunday Treffen in Fair Oaks Thursday

NASA at Infineon

abcde · 09-23-2011, 12:19 PM
