Looks stellar! Is that OEM or an aftermarket brand?

Looks so much better than the color matched reflectors. IMO, I’d leave the amber reflectors over the painted ones.
I really need to get my OEM one painted and installed. It’s been in a box for a few years now. |

It’s oem but has the CF splitters blended into the Euro oem bumper before painting. It really changes the look of the oem bumper. Compare my bumper to the third pic in this post:
https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...1&postcount=36 I also had the CF side mirrors painted like the M5 where only a portion of the CF is seen at the lower part of the side mirrors: Last edited by M3SQRD; 05-15-2024 at 01:20 PM.. |

That was a good idea. I never really liked the look of the black splitters but having them blended in and painted like the bumper looks sweet.

I guess I’m biased but I like it the best if non-functional splitters. It’s amazing such a small change really stands out and looks more aggressive. If I had planned on going with aero, I would have installed a GT4 splitter instead. On my other e92M3, I just installed the CF splitters without painting them so I’d have two different looks yet they are technically the same I don’t have a good front shot of the CF splitters. Yes, one is AW and the other is MW. Next to each other their colors look very different.

Ok I actually drove the car and got some pics. I need to wash it lol but you get the idea. Lighting makes it looks off, especially the two hook cover in the 3rd pic. But overall you can see fitment is "good enough" and I love it.
Can't wait for the paint to breath so I can get the whole car polished and ceramic coated.

It's funny because only in the pictures is this really noticeable. Standing there looking at it you only see the tow hook cover area, an again the pictures make it seem worse.
I wish it was a little better, but I don't wish it $600 to make it better. OEM wasn't even perfect.
