Matte Black Attack.....

Moving onto aesthetics.

The reflectors are simply hideous on this car and take aware from the smooth body lines on the front bumper. Also since the vehicle was delivered with a front plate - those holes needed to be filled as well in order to reverse the damage done from the dealership. After obtaining some flat bumper plugs, we had these and the OEM bumper reflectors repainted in Sparkling Graphite in order to cloak these with the vehicle to clean up the front a bit.

We're also not fans of chrome - not one bit. There are numerous black items on the vehicle from the window trim, hood vents, lower mesh, you name it. The chrome just doesn't seem to mesh well at all - so Matte Black was decided upon in order to add to an already aggressive look to the M3.

The front grilles were swapped out for our Matte Black versions as well as the fender gills resprayed in Matte Black to match the kidneys:






Also forgot to add one more item that was repainted in Matte Black:



More to come...
