shadowline or no?

BimmerRob · 02-05-2011, 01:38 AM

So I finally got my tints and tails finished. Plan on getting some chrome lipped rims with color-matched face. (see iconz 730z) Want some input on whether I should shadowline my window trims. yes, no? whole set up looks whack? whatever the case, i'll respect your honesty. btw, their ghetto iphone pics so bare with me. some of the pics are pre-window tints. 18% sunteks, tails are lamin-x gunsmoked.

Take off those horrible films on the tails. Otherwise, keep the chrome line.

In my opinion take the taillight tint off and just get the chrome pillars vinyl glossy black

c_jeong89 · 02-05-2011, 02:35 PM

Not a fan of tinted tails or at least not that dark. I would get the trim wrapped glossy black

e92stance · 02-05-2011, 02:46 PM

The tails are slightly ghetto, how bout just tinting the white, or red out the whole tail? I see everybody doing the trim in gloss and matte black, are there any other options that people have done? How bout color matching? or maybe tinting or clearing the trim with a slight tint/metallic? Everybodys shit looks the same.....there has to be another option that looks good..

glossy black trim would contrast nicely with your car color, i'd do it...

kushtrim · 02-05-2011, 04:01 PM
