Hmm... I haven't seen any BRMs with CF parts on it. I can't picture it too well, but what I imagine doesn't seem like it would work too well. If anyone has put some on there, I demand pics! I want to see what other people have done to to their BRM's

Has anyone tinted the windows on their BRM? I'd like to see some pics of it... I've tried photoshopping some on, but it's doesn't look too good. I dunno if I suck at photoshopping, or it just doesn't look good with the color ;)
(For reference, I just duplicated the window area on a new layer, filled in black, and made the opacity ~70%)

no car/color looks bad with tint. if it does you got a bad tint job (i.e. bubbles or mirror tint). if you find a level you're comfortable with, go with that. your car color is dark so the darker shades will look best, imo. but if you want 20% all around go with it, whatever works for you.

I think I'm just going to go with the state legal of 30% around, no need to push it and get a $100 ticket for 10% darker tint :\ I kind of want to do 25% just to match the tint of the sunroof, but I don't think the difference between 30% and 25% will be too noticable. I'm getting it done for $130 on Wednesday from a place that's been around for 15 years in town, so it should be a good deal from a reputable place.

wow really, even cali gives you whatever you want in the back, lol. sounds a plan though cause tickets suck monkey butt. and you did the homework instead of making up a whole thread to ask what the tint laws were in indiana

That tint looks nice peter. I actually just got mine done last week too and am very happy with it. Only 35% all the way around, but I didn't see a point in getting tickets over something silly like tint.
