X5 mods

[dude1331]

I'm thinking about getting my back lights tinted and 20 inch rims painted mat black.

What is the best place to take the car for this? In terms of price and quality.

How much should it costs? Hoping to get it done for cheap.

FYI it's a 2005 4.8is

Thanks!

ugh. don't

save it for maintenance.

The 20's on the 4.8 are grey and look great to begin with; they don't need some shity paint job.

:love:

[JustinMCS]

Exactly. Don't. Why do you want to douche it up by tinting the tail lights?!

[GTS4tw]

Wal-mart sells spray paint :dunno:

[ddduke]

Just plastidip your rims and leave the tint off your lights, or if you're really set on it then shadow can do it for you. I can dip your rims if you have a garage to work in.

Amen to that!

Be happy to have such a rare BMW SUV and don't bugger it up with Canadian Tire Mods.

Whops sorry, I guess each to their own...

Don't 4.8is are beautiful stock.

Hey I saw one with it and think it looks great. Ddduke I have a garage but no tools to get the rubber off or anything. Would that still work? How much would that stuff cost? How much does tinting lights cost?

[dude1331]

Also car is under a 2 year warranty so I don't need to save money for maintenance. I do want it to look professionally done though and don't want to spray it myself. I'm not the best with paint.

damn, blacked out tails... AND rims?! those bitches in falconridge are going to get sooooo wet :poosie:

You don't need any tools, if you want then shoot me a pm and I can do it for you.

Wow, this place makes no sense. Hallowed point wants to rice of a 1000$ cavalier and everyone thinks it's cool but when this guy plastidips his wheels (something that probably hundreds of beyonders have done) everyone jumps on him. Isn't there a thread all bout painting your winter wheels stupid colors?

[dirtsniffer]

Ya, but I don't think there is a thread (other than this one) on how to make your $2500 wheels look like they came out of a canadian tire flier

[dude1331]

This looks good

It will look better on my car since it is all black.

[dirtsniffer]

If you think that looks as good as this you are crazy

To each his own I guess. Also, that x5 you posted looks abused.

[dude1331]

Yah those rims look very basic. My question is what kind of wax is that guy using. Damnnnn

[InRich]

^ that blue X5 is friggin beautiful.

Everytime I see kids with blacked out rims, I laugh... shits in poor taste. keep your car the way it is.

[dennisaur]

Black wheels only look good on certain wheels and cars, and I don't think it fits in this case. They look like cheap winter steelies.:dunno:

[BensonTT]

Get a wings west bodykit :)

[shakalaka]

I think the black wheels look good. Do what you like with your car.

I would start off by tinting the windshield.

Then disconnect your HIDs so that they don't burn out.
