I tinted the back windows on my E34 to keep the heat/sun out, not because I want it to look good, infact I think it looks shite, but I dont care about the car, its just a workhorse. If I wanted to do it tastefully id get some rear blinds
Just proved my point... For practical reasons, not for looks.

There is nothing in that pictiure that compairs to tints.

Infact by putting that picture up as a comparison makes you look even worse.

Wms 4 pots
powdercoated legs
B8 shocks
H&R springs = FTW

Tints = Tw4t!

Your point is?

Had to upgrade Bob, Hartges were too narrow and didnt offer enough clearance for the brakes.

You dont like them? :(

Andrew, why is your car so high at the front? Have you taken out the engine for cleaning/polishing?
