Should I buy the AK, 20" Rims & Tint her?

[Greenberg]

Hey guys I've got a Black BMW X5 3.0Si I wont too buy the AeroKit and put her on 20" BMW rims is this a good idea?

Second question is should I tint her because it has the rear windows stock tint how will it look if I tint her? Will it be ok....

I say go for it -- i have saphire black 4.8 with the y-spoke 20's and i had all the windows tinted at 20% and aero-kit will be installed in a few weeks...even without the AK, the black car with dark windows and 20's looks really nice - very clean and aggressive...

Yeah Im going to go with the Y-Spoke 20's what about the tint though as it all ready has stock tint how will it look once I tint it over the stock tint? Its not going to look even is it?

Im thinking 75% or 85% all windows except windshield.

You should be able to tint just the fronts and get pretty close to matching the backs. Do a forum search on the topic as I remember an entire thread discussing which brand and %-age matches the factory tint.

In my case, I did not get the rear climate package, so my rears were not tinted from the factory, so I had them all done with the same tint...

I personally think the areo kit and 20" Y-spokes look great. I have the factory tint on the rears. The link is to a picture I posted today...

So if I put tint film over all the windows including stock tinted ones it will look fine? Im going to go run off search the forum for my question.

Those picks look good! I wont to see this on my Black X5 ))))

I would tint the whole thing, it will look much nicer. I tried tinting just the front to match the privacy glass and it did not look right. So I went 20% all around and 35% front windshield.

Congratulations on your vehicle and do not forget to post pictures.

on black, the AK is a gamble... I mean it's not entirely noticeable to the avg person and for the price ($1800+), it may not be worth it on the black.
