Blacklines?

I thought I try my hand at this polling thing after having seen so many polls on so many topics (varying degrees of relevance).

I was just curious if being on this forum has increased the awareness for blacklines and the ensuing popularity within our community. I have yet to see an e90 sod with blacklines in my daily but short commute into D.C. and have noticed a couple of e90 drivers giving my blackline'd tail a good look.

As such I would like to see how many e90posters have them, how many are planning to get them and how many don't care too much for them.

edit: pics added for comparison

funny you should ask....

My blacklines started off (very briefly) as blacklines on fellow e90poster Bavarian19's beautiful MB e90 until he sold it off to me (installed) He's going with another direction on his tail lights (secret)

OK dumb question, but what are blacklines? Obviously I see the pictures but what exactly are the differences? Are they an aftermarket product?

I'm not really a fan, but they are far nicer than orange.

I guess we're lucky in the UK to get the clear lenses as standard.

I must admit, though, they do look stunning on SG.

I have them on order, I hope they arrive this week. 250 Euros all in.(I get my normal lights back put them on my roof and let Puck pullover for the second time this week )
I somewhat 'hate' the E90s rear end in general so because it looks like a Nissan Primera to me from the back, with those blacklines on SG I think it looks better....I hope.

I think they look great, but only on certain colours (mostly the dark ones). Someone posted them a few days ago on their red e90 and I didn't think they looked right at all.

I like blacklines but, they just don't seem to look good on Alpine White.

Over the last few weeks, have seen pics of blacklines on the various colors. Need to compile them into a thread for future reference. I think the only colors I haven't seen blacklines on would be AW and the elusive Sonora...that'll be the prize pic

It is a tough call for me. I guess it depends on what color is your car. It does looks good with certain color combo.

There is a thread of an AW with blacklines. Now the Sonora could be a trucky one....
