Victor | I don't think there are, you're better off just buying the spray-tint and just doing it yourself though | | | | | 08-13-2008, 12:42 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 |
I think it looks pretty cool. Have you thought about doing that to the side markers and turn signals? I think that would complete the look. __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

I used the VHT nightshades, about $15 on ebay... Here's how they turned out...

AEs? also did u paint the rims yourself? because im also thinking about doing that but i have the 5 spoke 16inch ones that come with the M-tech package. u can go through my gallery and tell me if i should go through with the plan. it would also include blacking out the chrome outline of the front grill, front corners the whole tails and dark window tints; im thinking 20% in front and 5% in the back | | | | | 09-03-2008, 07:02 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

And, yes I did refinish the rims. They are 17" style 22's from a 95 M3. They were trashed when I got them (totally rashed, a bad curbing, and a cheap rattlecan paint attempt on one), so they needed complete refinishing (alot of taping, painting, and tons of clear coat!). I don't know if the same paint scheme would work well with your style 18's, as there is not much inset lip... I say do as much tint as the law allows, as Cali rules won't let anyone tint anything in front of the b pillars... I wanted just the little bit of silver/chrome accents on the all black car, so I didn't black out the grille, but I did replace the roundel emblems with white/black CF... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

they arent bad but i think they wouldve looked better in reverse, with the red smoked and the white untouched like wolferj or get euro taillights with with the entire stretch in white and do only the red. | | | | | 09-08-2008, 02:25 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: St. Louis, MO Posts: 201 |
