yeah it does look way better at night.

looks good IMO
if it was the pre LCI i would say to smoke everything except the indicators but you have LCI anyway

It doesn't look TOO dark either which is another good thing, don't really like it when on some cars its literally like black paint, not tinted haha

i did it to my 328 a couple of years ago, just today decided to take them off, they were about as dark as OPs if not a little bit more but as time went they kept getting lighter and lighter and eventually just bad.


heres my problem with the spray tint though, the car is garaged most of the time but the tint turns to crap after about 6 months, the constant polishing wears away the tint pretty bad, wish i had gone with a wrap tint instead of spray tint.
