M3NNIS · 10-18-2008, 03:38 PM

Bimmer Nerd · 10-18-2008, 03:58 PM

ohh for the photo guru stuff, i don't know much but in some cases open a photo with photoshop and then go to image>adjustments> auto color and then it fixes some problems

thats all i know so sorry if i wasn't much help, you can ask phunger and remmib for that stuff they are pros at it !!!

very nice,love pic with x5!

Speedtrap · 10-18-2008, 04:02 PM

Man! Thats really dark....is that allowed over yonder?

M3NNIS · 10-18-2008, 04:45 PM

It looks darker in the picture, although it is dark, its 5% all the way. the front two doors are the only ones that that percentage is not allowed on, but Im not allowed to not have a front plate either.

its not bad at night, its actually not much different then 20% you have.
also most cars have factory tinted windows then most tint over that to get a dark tint equal to 5% or so. they just do the front two windows lighter, like my truck and x5.
so overall its not that different and you can see fine.

The reason there is laws on tint is not for seeing out, its for being able to see in.

imagine your a police and walking up to a car you cant see it, you have no ideea whats going on in there.

True?
I've never been in a 5% at night so I wouldn't know if its just like mine...so I guess I can believe you

That's also a good point about the cops. I never thought about it that way

its a convertible, the interior won't be hidden.
I honestly dont see how anyone doesnt tint their cars. It looks so much better. also keeps the sun and the heat out a lot. (of course when the tops up).

M3NNIS · 10-20-2008, 07:18 AM

look at the tint on this picture, its more representable.

addy85 · 10-20-2008, 07:31 AM

i'm taking a long shot of a guess but I think you like white

watrob · 10-20-2008, 07:32 AM

Man that's dark, and unfortunately illegal in Aus, but damn it sets that M off nicely.
