dude that is badass...love the red trim too...here's my black on black...only problem is that i took the pictures at dusk thinking it would be cool but they didn't come out the way i wanted.

personally, i think 5% is too dark...at night i can't really see, sometimes i can't even see if they girls are hot or not...haha...and i'm serious, i have to roll down the window to chk them out and it's kinda embarrassing...i had 35% on my old car and i think it worked better...also, 5% tint gives a reflection on the inside such it can gives a glare. well, to each their own...

Those pics taken by the merchandise mart? The building in the background looks like the one that curves with the river at that point.

5% is too dark in my opinion too. All my cars had 20% and that seemed to be a good balance of darkness and being able to "see the sights" at night.

My mom used to work in the mart and picked her up in that driveway. I like way that building looks too. I live out on the northwest side.

5% tint looks nice. But there are two draw-backs to it that you should consider.

1. Police hastling you.

2. Can't see shit at night. My brother has that on his new black on black 545i. But when ever I have to move his car or anything, I have to roll down his windows just to see the side view mirror...
