New Window Tint

Tobbep · 05-14-2012, 02:13 PM

I just had BMW install some window tint for me. I went with 35% all the way around. They actually did a good job and did not charge me an arm and a leg.

Next project is to have the KW Spring Kit installed in order to remove that Off-road looking wheel gap.

As THE TECH would say... "Looks good."

Nice car and it doesn't have off road wheel gap.

Looks good.

Thanks. I guess I was exaggerating a tad about the wheel gap.

Looks very good!

Somewhat off topic, but am I the only guy here with stuff actually in my garage? Like a lawnmower, tools, workbench, etc? Some of you guys have garages that could be a spare bedroom.

Looks good.

You'll love the KW Sleeves!

Eric335 · 05-14-2012, 08:06 PM

So, how much were you charged? Just an arm OR a leg?

Thanks. I can't wait to install the KW's. I'm trying to have it done in Houston by Richard@M-World.

They charged me $175. Lifetime warranty with BMW. I'm not sure if I believe that but that's what he said.

The $175 included everything. That's why I could not pass this opportunity up. I liked the fact the BMW installed it. It gave me a peace of mind.

great set up you have there.

Very good price, and yes, BMW warranty aint bad either

Looks sweet. I always loved the alpine white with the carbon roof...

Once you lower it, it will. E a completely different car.. (in a good way obviously)

markjord · 05-15-2012, 04:40 AM

Slightly off topic. I'm thinking of getting the KWs as well. When you talk about that off road look that is kind of true of the front wheels but the rears fill their arches nicely. So I'm wondering if people using the KWs lower the front more than the rear or will this upset the handling etc. maybe a stupid question. Not sure.

OP probably just moved in. I've got uninstall mod parts, wheels, heater, lawnmower and tool sets missing tons of piece (I'm sure they are in the garage some where, can't blame my little cousins about their misplace since they just wanted to help)
