That is the exact combo you want imo. Dark rear, medium front. I had dark reat laminx on my m3 and it looked great, so I went with same for my 335. Will post pics of the m if it matters, but I didn't get around to installing it on my 335 yet.

Both cars are grey so the m can still give somewhat an idea.

Still debating what to do with the front headlights though. I hate the color of the corner light housing,they stand out so much and doesn't flow well.

thanks for the pics, i went ahead with the order now what I'm looking to do is cut of the white part just like this. i like the way it looks nice and clean now from what i read it seems the only way to do this is to put on the lamin-x, let it sit for and hr or so, then go back and cut it with an exacto knife... Is this the best way to do it kinda scared don't wanna cause damage to the lights how have you guys done this?

This looks pretty good! Is this type of Lamin-x also easily removed if you decide you don't like it in the future?

get a light tint, i did all of my lights and removed it the next day. i think if i got the lightest tint it would have looked better. also be very careful when applying them i dropped one on the garage floor and it was ruined, i had to order another piece.
