Ordered BMS N63 Stage1 for my f01, the gains are pretty good for a small investment.

I don't know exactly what the product he used is, but N-motion (an RS sponsor) sells Oracle tinting film, it is made specifically for reflector and taillight applications. They have it in two different darkness'.

Oracle looks great and it really doesn't affect the output or reflectivity of the surfaces you use it on (which is really impressive). But under regular light it really darkens everything up and makes it look way better.

Looks sick man, car should have come like that instead of that pink looking colour it had stock. Did you end up DIY'ing it?

Are you going to do the two little reflectors as well?

Beautiful colour by the way. Thats a really nice car...

Harvey Specter 11-16-2013 08:03 PM

Not sure what brand because I haven't received the tint. I ordered the tint from the guy below, he's on the BMW forums. Honestly it's the best tint I've seen for the rear lights, it's not too dark and looks OEM.

Thanks meme405. I agree, the tails are way too red but the 2013/2014 7 Series now has tinted rears. I'm actually going to have it wrapped professionally because I want it clean as possible and install isn't going to be too much. I might get the little reflectors done as well if I have left over material.

Let us (me) know if cops give you a hard time. Doesn't look like they will but given their failure to prioritize traffic violations of importance, I'm curious to know if they'll leave you alone.

Plus I want to do it to my cars :ilied:

I don't think anyone will give you grief over it, unless you go extremely dark.

I have it over my two rear reflectors and my third brake light and no problems. I even got pulled over for the tint for my two front windows, and they didn't say anythings about the lights when they did a walk around of the car.

Harvey Specter 11-16-2013 11:59 PM

It's not dark enough for a cop to hassle you, if you go darker than you risk getting pulled over.

And funny you mention cops, I got pulled last night before Cambie St bridge for having front tints even though my tint is very light. The cop who pulled me over was super cool and his exact words were "just be careful of traffic cops, they're dicks" lol. He also said he liked the front tint because it made the car look nicer and it should be legal for nice cars so it really depends on the cop.

Hate to say it but :bullshit:. I HIGHLY doubt a cop would tell you other cops are dicks, and the laws he's sworn to uphold should be changed...

Oh, and i guess if it's only legal for nice cars, you couldn't tint your tails then, could you? Only Lamborghni's, Ferrari's, Bentley's, etc right? Oh that's right, everyone's definition of "nice" is different. I think my car is nice, but because it's not worth nearly as much as either of your cars, i shouldn't be allowed to tint my tails, but you should? What about someone who has a classic car? Can they not tint their tails because it's not as nice as your car?

It should be legal for nice cars? Lol.

Go ahead try to define a nice car, thats why they made it illegal across the board. Not saying it should be illegal, but I can see why they aren't going to start making exceptions...

My tint was very light as well on my car, actually it wasn't tint at all, it was just coloured film to make my front windows have that mercedes blue hue. I bitched a little cause I had to spend like 2 hours pulling off the tints and getting the glue off and my car looked almost exactly the same. The visibility into the car was identical, but w/e I knew it was illegal and the cop found it So I pulled it off went and showed them, and all was good. There was no fine associated with my ticket, I just had to fix the issue and show it to any detachment.

Agreed. Based on his logic I think my car is awesome so I'll just limo tint my taillights and it'll be all good.
