I painted a bunch of stuff black. Dunno if I like it. - Page 3

creaminz · 10-11-2012, 01:13 AM

I like it! But orange reflectors got to go!

e92involved · 10-11-2012, 01:13 AM

Change to gloss black asap, but the black looks much better! Get rid of the side reflectors asap.

Terraforce1 · 10-11-2012, 03:04 AM

Came out nice !

nbennettksu · 10-11-2012, 08:19 AM

I like everything but the hood vents, and I'm not saying its ugly. Its just a bit much for my taste.

NoM3ForMe · 10-11-2012, 11:03 AM

Not too shabby, OP.

Sam@ModeCarbon · 10-11-2012, 11:29 AM

It looks good! E93's have way too much bling from the factory, I like where you're headed with this.

I have never been a fan of black wheels. So i would say no go on the wheels.

The small stuff like the hood vents / tail pipes etc are okay. But i agree with others who say to do them in gloss black.

Masshog1 · 10-11-2012, 03:24 PM

Kind of makes it look a bit drab.
But what do YOU think.

hey guys! took some new pictures today when the sun was actually out. I have to say, I think it looks A LOT better when I use a good camera and the sun isnt setting. Makes the color more red and the wheels more black. Contrast is good.

Blindside_137 · 10-11-2012, 03:47 PM

definitely a little better.

get some satin/gloss black zcp wheels, and get that orange reflector replace.

to look like malek@MRF's ride ^^ hope it's ok to use his pics

M3PO · 10-11-2012, 04:16 PM

You went from classy to badass but also added a tinge of cheap IMO. I like the idea but the execution could use some massaging (i.e. no plastidip, get "edition" parts, wrap the trim in gloss black, get some aftermarket wheels).

e92m3allday · 10-11-2012, 07:20 PM

IMO, Satin Black is definitely the best choice for rims out of the blacks. Its the perfect balance of gloss and matte. Also, before you decide on the finish, I think that a fresh car wash with some tire shine would make it look much better. However, new reflectors, a drop, and spacers would make a HUGE difference. Then it would be perfect.

cnofar · 10-11-2012, 08:23 PM

I think gloss black on the wheels would stand out much nicer, but that's my two cents.
