They look nice on the dark colours...
But, what about the reduced visibility of your brake lights???

JMO, but I'd be concerned about getting wacked in the azz by someone.
You might also have a battle with an insurance claim, if the guy says he couldn't see your lights.

I have tail light tint film from headlightarmor also and the quality is pretty good. Install wasn't very difficult either.

As for Lamin-X, have you checked out their website yet? I find it hard to take them seriously since they can't even distinguish the standards of different levels of tint correctly. 5% should've been limo tint. 35% should've been lighter than 20%. 50% should've been lighter than 35%.

new here, anyone have an 03-05 model year with smoked lamps? I've checked both headlightarmor and lamin-x - neither have kits available for earlier z4 models

Bimmian has them for fronts, sides, and rears for all year Z4. You can also find it on eBay as well.
