Talking Stuff coming my way

Had the car looked at by BMW and belt looked to be in bad shape so did rotors.

SO I went ahead and called Ko Perf. (they owed me $384 on my AA software that I had never done).

So I picked up some "Victory Product" E46 UDP
and some Zimmerman cross drilled rotors

Also been talking to Habbie and I should have the followings coming to me soon..

Smoked corners,
Smoked side markers,
Smoked or Clear Non-LED tails,
6k HID bulbs to replace the factory 4.3k with,
Predator Chromium DDE's 6.5k,
and some matching fog light bulbs.

And have an appt for July the 27th to get 20% tint slapped on the car

Oh, and I just had my oil change done at BMW (wanted to get the car looked at to see what was up with it - Otherwise I always do my oil changes). And later on today, dropping the car off at my tire place (the one I used to work at) to get balance and alignment done.

Any suggestions/comments/concerns?

But, any of you have 20% on your cars? I had 35% on the last one, and it just wasn't "that" dark. What do you guys think of 20% on a sedan?

The darker the better, my friend.

I used to have 20 percent on mine and I really liked it. However, I started doing a lot of night canyon driving a few summers back so I took it off. Now I prefer the car without since it has much better night visibility. I do miss the privacy though.

I think if you're doing smoked up front, do it in the rear too, doing clears in the back leave the look half finished IMHO.

and uhh, your ride height needs fixed... like ... yesterday
an inch maybe? maybe an inch and a half?

RZZZZZZZ - try driving at night w/dark sunglasses, that'll tell you if you want 20%. Especially looking for your back up lights. As 02 mentioned it's nice until you do alot of night driving

Well, even with the 35% I had to roll the windows down at night to see when I was backing up . What % do you have?

Mine is 12% GLASS not film. I have Posterior Uveitus (sensitivity to light) and that is $1100 of glass. I have a perscript from my Dr and a Fed Safety permit to have it. (DOT/FMVSS #205) Have to have eyes checked and renew DOT permit every 2 years. The hazards of working in dark venues.

rooz, before you decide on your %, you should check to see what your state's limit is.
