Thank you very much. I really wanted to do something a little different so I decided on yellow

Tinted the tail lights today, and had my girlfriend take some pictures. Also sitting on the Dinan springs and lowering links. Didn't lower the car much, but they ride great

not feeling tinted tails (too dark in my opinion) other than that looks great

Honestly man when the lights are on or the brake is applied it's not dark. I'll take a picture to show you!

I believe u, I can kinda see it from the side

I had medium-light tinted taillights in my B5 and it looked great even without brakes engaged so I have nothing against tinted tails!

X5 is coming along and looks great with those wheels. I too am not a fan of the tinted lens but to each their own. I think if anything you need right now are some IND painted rear reflectors.

Thank you! And yes I think I'm going to add the painted rear reflectors. But looks wise for now I think I'm all good. Time to start throwing downpipes and stuff on it!

Added that to the caliper, I'm still thinking about how I feel with that

NCA Motorsports · 03-17-2018, 02:38 PM

X5M or X6M??? 🤔

You know I'm gonna say X5M...

How about the ///M in tri-color?
That's how mine were on my OEM brakes and it looked factory.

boneca · 03-19-2018, 07:39 AM

both look great

but you have to realize this is X5 section so my vote obviously goes to X5M

caliper stickers looks good, I don't think tricolor would help with OEM look but could bring up the little WoW factor
