Pics -> Stock White E90 with 5% Window Tint

Mr.Bimmer · 07-02-2007, 08:38 PM

Hi Everyone,

These were the best pics I could come up with, lighting was a little harsh outside. The windows look slightly less dark in person, but this gives members with white E90's an idea of what 5% looks like all around (basically limo tint).

stooken · 07-02-2007, 09:03 PM

Wow that's dark

JmanE55 · 07-02-2007, 09:35 PM

Man, that's DARK. Dont u get harrash by the OC cops?

Bimmerboy87 · 07-02-2007, 11:17 PM

WOW, nice and dark!

AU335 · 07-02-2007, 11:41 PM

Dude, your crazy!!! Thats awesome. The cops where i live would be on my in a second... but hey, if you can get by with it, then im jealous

Looks good though

ChadE · 07-02-2007, 11:42 PM

shit looks hot man

Mr.Bimmer · 07-03-2007, 10:25 AM

Thanks Guys

I've had tint on my passed 3 vehicles, never been ticketed - then again I'm usually driving the speed limit and try not to cause too much attention to myself.

This tint is working great with this recent heat wave we're having!

montreal_bimmer · 07-03-2007, 12:55 PM

looks great....

remmib · 07-03-2007, 01:13 PM

Dude, thats pitch black, are you Vin Diesel

nusevad · 07-03-2007, 01:22 PM

looks nice, wish i could get it that dark around here...

mikeman · 07-03-2007, 02:00 PM

im lovin the tint...

5% all around is the only way to go..and 35% on the windshield...balla status.

LOLrance · 07-03-2007, 02:10 PM

You crazy! How's driving around with 5% at night? I remember sitting in my friends limo tinted IS and you could not see anything whatsoever at night. Pretty dangerous imo, but looks good

Ryan(e92) · 07-03-2007, 02:18 PM

stay out of Newport at night. I had tint like that on my 1.8t and Ive been ticketed 3 times. At night they pull u over for tint as an excuse to see if ur DUI status.

uabimmer · 07-03-2007, 02:28 PM

Dude that is AWSOME!!!!
Do you have to open a window and look out when you are backing up at night??

Mr.Bimmer · 07-03-2007, 07:30 PM

Thanks everyone

At night it is a little dark but I've driven vehicles in the passed with 5% tint so I am familiar with driving at night. If you want to clearly see out your windows at night I would advise against 5% tint. One thing I absolutely love is driving the freeways at night now because the other car's headlights behind me are sooooo dim with the tint on my car that it makes driving the freeway at night extremely pleaurable.

I'm in Newport Coast - I imagine down on (or around) the peninsula or even parts of east side costa mesa / newport heights I might run into trouble with law enforcement - I don't drink and drive but I do appreciate the heads up. If they ticket me for tint, that'll be fine because the place that put my tint on said they'd take the tint off and put it back on for relatively cheap.

Johnny Lin · 07-03-2007, 08:11 PM

Looks nice on the white car. Becareful from the cop, they will keep eye on you all the time.

al4m · 07-03-2007, 08:26 PM

damn
looks hella good

DILLIGAF · 07-03-2007, 08:28 PM

i find it hard to drive at night with tint that dark

Mr.Bimmer · 07-03-2007, 09:28 PM

It is a (neg) trade-off going with 5% imo, but imo the pros outweigh the cons.

I drive the freeways regularly at night and just love the feeling of having all headlights behind me pretty darn dim. Don't get me wrong I can still clearly make out the vehicle(s) behind me, in fact i was able to make out last night a chp directly behind me on the 73 freeway (we were both going about 70mph-just cruising) - Driving during the day is always easy to see out of, some nights can require a little extra effort. (just how i feel)

If I have time I'll try to take a couple more pics.

RaptorKTM · 07-03-2007, 10:20 PM

looks awesome
