Really 50?! I guess I'm just worried because i live in New York and In a small town. Cops really look for a reason to pull you over, no disrespect to anyone who is an officer, my best friend is. Got to get me some plastic dip. Also I want 18" rims in black. Brands you could recommend? I tried to find a thread on here with different percentages of tints. I'm having hard time navigating this site.

I thought any tint on the windshield was illegal? 30% on the the front two windows and anything goes for the rear? Eh, I donno.
I may suggest to stay away from 18s unless you REALLY want them. I had 18s on mine for about 3 months before bad roads ruined two of them and I switched over to 17s. I'm sure NY has some bad roads too with the big contrast in temperature from summer to winter. They did look sweet though....
Best of luck modifying and welcome to the MINI world!

Yeah anything under 70% is illegal in NY. Good advice on the wheels. I kind of thought this. It was either bigger rims or lowering but the roads are so bad I don't want it to be any lower. 17s would also look nice. What brands though? I'm looking to spend like $2,000. too much, not enough? Thanks, thanks, thanks!!

cricketine- It's pretty simple! And if you mess up, the great thing is you can just peel it off once it dries with no adverse effects. Hold it about 12" away from the thing you're painting. The first coat, make sure to cover the entire thing you're plastidipping so you have a good base. Then, do about 3-4 coats after that. If you spray too close- it comes out weird in the end! $6 a can and I used 2 cans to do every piece of chrome trim on my car and my hood scoop.
Every piece of trim you see here was blacked with plasti-dip, excluding the handles, which I got from Aesthetic Creations.

That looks amazing!!! Is this lowered a bit? Now I kind of want a roof rack. Question about the rims. I want to keep the little mini emblem on the rim, It's like on the center of the hub? I don't know what it's called, can I do that with any set of rims I buy? I seriously have a ton of questions, you might have to tell me to stop!!

No problem at all on the questions! I'm happy to answer them.
Yes, the car is lowered on coilovers. I am about 4.5" lower than stock.
For the wheels, the only way you'll be able to have the mini emblem is if you get stickers, something like this would be perfect: http://compare.ebay.com/like/2307320...Types&var=sbar
BUT if you are getting really nice wheels, you will want to show off the brand! If you have the mini emblem covering it up, people will think they are knock-off wheels.. which = bad!
