Blacklines on Titanium Silver?

i have a titanium silver E90 with 35% tint all around and i have been debating whether or not i should put blacklines on it.........................I've been going back and forth mainly because i'm afraid that my car might look a bit cheap or tacky with the tint on blacklines..............What do you guys think? I posted this thread probably like ten times but got no response and im thinking about pulling the trigger and ordering them...........

So Blacklines on a silver E90 with tint?

Absolutely. The blacklines look really good on Black, White, Silver, Bule...about anything, really.

I think the clear lens looks better than the white.

Get them ... they look great on Silver. I love mine and think they give the car a Teutonic look befitting a German road car.

They look great on TiAg IMO. Just pull the trigger and get them, you won't regret it.

If you think the car looks good w/o, it will look better with blacklines.

Since there seems to be unanimous consent on this thread, I'll offer a contrasting opinion: don't get blacklines because they cheapen the BMW aesthetics and scream "aftermarket". The black plastic on the inner lights clashes with the outer lights on the blacklines more so than the white clashes with the red on the stock lights. Also, the solid red lights sex up the rear end when viewing the side profile.

In the end, do whatever you think looks good.

do it for a few reasons...

amber turn signals... instead of red.
Make the look much better, IMO. I really don't like the all red taillights
