Very thin, not too thick, but also painting the part that touches the bead of the tire, So basically masking the inner circle only. Also, running a black outline around the rear taillights to simulate the "black lines" on the sedan taillights. Either or, the car is looking great and keep us updated
I haven't considered that. Its not really what I'm going for, but the mockup looked a lot better than I expected. I was surprised to see that a yellow time attack actually could work on a car like this. At some point I might do a time attack just to say I did it, but its nothing i would do in the near future.

Regarding the rear tail lights, if anything I would get them painted/tinted a slightly darker color. But right now I'm really loving the LCI tail lights, so I think I'm going to go with those for a while. Maybe you could show me a pic of exactly what you mean though to give me a better idea of what you had in mind.

Thanks

sorry for going off topic. here is a quick mock up of what it would look like. for your car ( i suck at photoshop )
Thanks for the mockup man. It looks a lot better than I thought it would. Like I said above though, not really part of the design philosophy i had in mind for this car.

Is the original contributor re-posting or do other people do it.
That being said I do love this yellow e92 and would love to see some new pictures of it.
IHB. I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say older posts get repeated sometimes. Every time someone posts onto a thread that thread gets bumped up to the top of the thread list. Does that answer your question? Or were you going somewhere else with that?

Anyway, some new pictures are coming soon. By the end of NEXT week, I should have my Vorsteiner Trunk installed, along with a few other small goodies.

Still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the front though. Euro Front Bumper with Lip? (biggest problem here is that there are no lips that I really like out there). RDSport Stradale Front Bumper? I've even recently started considering the Amuse Front Bumper. We'll see I suppose.

Not looking to do the color matched rims. Not my thing. Though I admit they don't look bad, it just gives the car a more "toy"-ish look. And that's just not the look I'm going for.
