I was going to post the same. Not sure how you even think you're done when you go for the All Black look and don't tint??

I'm just so torn on the tinting. Looking at the interior of the car when it's clean and the windows are clean just shows such an immaculate interior! I mean, the stitching, contours of the seats, just everything! Dark tint is like covering up great art :-)

So clean. Did you get the wheels powder coated? If so, where did you do it and how much?

i went with 35% tint to keep it clean and you can still tell what color my interior is. not like limo tint where you can't see inside. you could also go even lighter %. but i think right now with all the black out you got going the clear windows is making it seem a bit off...IMO tho

agreed. tints on a black car goes together like peanut butter and jelly. I tinted my windows 20% all around on my silver f10 and it looks gorgeous

the interior is called the interior for a reason haha. window tints would really complete the look for his car especially since he has black paint.

california dreaming.. haha. dreaming of less strict emissions maybe?

I've been toying with "wrapping" the chrome on the door handles on my car. I tried electrical tape (as a proof of concept) and it looked very awkward next to the Carbon Black. It didn't bring out the black in the color, it really highlighted the blue. Maybe I should color match...

color match it. because mine's JetBlack i was able to use the leftover pieces from my ShadowTrim kit to wrap the door chrome and it turned out nice. being your car is Carbon Black i could see why it might look off?
