i dont care if you dont like it, if you read, thats not what you people are whining about over the last page and half of crap. its my tint for the most part. stop whining and grow up
personally i think your car looks like crap based soley on the fact that its an r56. i sort of feel bad for you for having to own it

first i felt bad cause everyone was flaming you for your tints
so i commented telling people to **** off cuz everyone can do what they want, you'll see that if you go to teh last page
then you start bitching and moaning about your headlights again....
then you take a crack at me for my car from left field which has nothing to do with anything....
you know, people start making asses out of themselves when they've gone so low, have no defense left, and are foaming at the mouth because there really is nothing left to say, kind of like hwat you are doing right now....
but its fine, ill respond anyway
you obviously dont like my car or anyone else 2nd gen mini which is fine, and while you feel bad, let me reassure you, you hsouldnt nfeel bad at all because im happy with my car but thanks for your input....

lol im jk but im not looking for everyone to like the lights, but to keep going on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn is different than saying once or twice that you dont like them. then whoever started about the tint had no reason to as this thread isnt about tint (on the glass that is)

wow, PIMP, playing the R56 card.. sooooooo original.
truth be told the R56 looks superior to your DIY Disaster..
shoulda just called him a motard if you were gonna go thataway....

lol u like doing that light gray font
its cool tho i never said i was gonna leave the nylon on the headlights..i might just end up joey modding it, or if Lamin-x will make me some flat black covers as opposed to the gloss ones they make for our cars, ill get those. but i do like the tail lights...some days i like how the headlights look and somedays i dont.
what im trying to figure out is this-
have you seen Rob and Big on mtv? his flat black tahoe..he has flat black tails...wonder how/what he used...ive heard and seen on other forums that if you take black paint and mix a matte clear coat with it, itll turn out with a matte finish, but light will still shine through since its mostly clear with a little black mixed in. dont know how that would work, thats something ill have to ask my body shop.

Unless you've PhotoShopped the pictures (to make them look bad??), I don't think an eyeball-to-headlight encounter will change anyone's opinion. That's your mod, and welcome to it. I just think it makes the car look cheesy.

just sack up and start painting stuff.
you're worried about permanently modifing stuff?
are you serious?!?!?!? with the Great Wall of CHina inside, now you're being conservative with the exterior?

the headlights maybe a little but the tails reverse and 3rd brake i dont think look bad at all....i like the overall flat look against the gloss paint since thats what im going for (sorta like Simon's mini with the flat black stripes down the center of the car)

No, it's your attitude and you lack of concern for *other* people's safety. I don't care if you drive off a cliff because you couldn't see a road sign, but I do care that deliberately modify your car to the point you cannot adequately see out of it at night (admitted in post 1). If it were a trailer queen show car, more power to ya; the tint looks good from a style perspective. However, the moment you drive on public roads you become a hazard. I hope someday you choose to share the road with other drivers.

I've seen a number of cars with tail lights painted and still transparent. The last one I can remember was an M3 in eurotuner that had maroon tail lights. They did it just like you said above. Just have to make sure not to go too far.

Whoa! While posting the above, I had a mind-numbing revelation!
Panyhose over the headlites... why not go to the next obvious level? Step it up! I'm thinkin' (bear with me here)... Victoria's Secret -black satin bra -get a big one- one cup for each headlite. I'm not sure what to do with the tail lights yet, but my brain is working feverishly on the problem. Maybe grab a copy of the catalog to do a little research. Hmmm... I'll get back to this thread later, got work to do.
