Dont use the camera much, not worth fixing. I'm not sure yet if I want to put much money into the M3. It's my daily, and I plan to sell it after probably a year or two.. Thats the reason I just painted my wheels

the problem is that its matte black. you need gloss black (coming from a guy with a MR M3 with gloss black parts)

Gloss black looks best with Melbourne IMO.. That said get a painted reflector and it will all tie in much better.
Edit* Ahh yes, see above^^ |

I had the bodyshop professionally paint my kidney grilles, hood grilles, and rear bumper grille - Looks much better. My car is black so you can't tell as much, but on other colors like white/silver/red I think the gloss would really pop and look better. Never have been a fan of matte.

Powdercoat or paint those rims glossy black so the brake dust washes off easily. When my wheels were plastidipped the brake dust caked on and turned them brown. And washing didn't help it either. I ended up with brown rims after 3 months.
Nice GT by the way. I hope that I'll be able to afford one when I'm in the market again in a year or so. |

I honestly think it's the tan interior that's throwing the look off...

around $400 for the wheels. I've never heard of powdercoating the grills. I would just buy the edition grills. If you're a DIY guy and want to save some money, you could sand down the grills to remove the clear and spray paint them gloss black. I did it to my side grills and it came out perfect. Just remember to paint side to side and you'll get a smooth finish. There's a tutorial somewhere on the youtubes.

There's just something that makes the car look weird.. I think it may be the wheels. Lemme photoshop some new wheels on it.

I think the black grills and side gills look good, everything else looked better before....especially the wheels.

Okay so here's my thinking.. I'll live with it for a week, because I've found a few other MR with matte black wheels and they look good, so MAYBE my camera is just making it look bad. I'll give it a week..
Now, in a week, since I'm probably going to peel off the plastidip anyway, and I have 3 gallons of white plastidip.. I'll do the entire car matte white for the hell of it. Go from there. |
