is it too much gold?

spdy330 · 09-01-2012, 10:29 PM

Gold to me is so 1990's. Not my flavor either but it you like it that is all that matters.

LateBraking · 09-01-2012, 10:54 PM

Never enough gold. Check this out. 100% white gold plated SLR McLaren. See? Never ever ever enough.

Personally I'd repaint all the gold to charcoal. That may look cool actually.

You can do the hood vents charcoal along with the wheels, reflectors, grills

Erie Von Otto · 09-02-2012, 04:38 AM

I say go for it. Youre going for the Iron Man theme anyway so you should do it up. Id like to see some shots from further away also.

Darth One · 09-02-2012, 06:53 AM

you seem to be a good guy who takes critique constructively, and I mean this to help, not
put you down - that looks terrible. the gold wheels really clash with the red - too much flash - and the side markers are even worse. again, they just clash and the combo of colors is very hard on the eyes. it's as loud as those guys who replace everything on their cars with chrome including the trim.

anyway, just my opinion and meant in a positive way

M3CRUZN · 09-02-2012, 09:13 AM

thanks for the opinions and advices....

jra85 · 09-02-2012, 02:44 PM

So based on your name and avatar, is it safe to say that's the theme you're going for with this car?

I agree. Obviously not to everyone's taste but if your intention is do ironman themed m3, looks pretty darn good. May as well go all the way. You can always change stuff back easily when you get bored with it. Why not get some ironman plates too as someone suggested before.

DominionXX · 09-02-2012, 08:13 PM

thanks for the positive comments....iRonM3n is the theme that im going for..and you're right ..i can always change it since i have a black /cf set up too...i just want to be unique for the meantime ....
just getting good feedback outside the forum thats why i'm staying with this theme..

tlp · 09-03-2012, 01:14 PM

IronMan is so 2010.

Paint the wheels green and go for the AquaMan theme

chris s · 09-03-2012, 02:30 PM

+1 for aquaman theme!

Lorde · 09-03-2012, 03:23 PM

Please trade your M3 in for an Oldsmobile, like this one.

Not trying to be mean, but if you think this is bad, it sums up how we (the M3post collective of men who love p***y) feel about what you've done to your car.

I think it's more your speed and matches the maturity level and where you are in life.

I just don't think you get the concept of driving a nice car.

Castr_85M · 09-03-2012, 04:54 PM

It looks sick! i love how you did the blinker in red.

i'm sorry if i disrespected (if that's the right word) the M3post with this post...but im just tryin to get feedback so i can learn too since its my first time to have an M3....
about the concept of driving a nice car.....maybe you're right...maybe you're wrong....i don't know whats nice for oneself..thanks anyways

EndOfAnEra · 09-03-2012, 08:34 PM

Maybe you can show your car to the guys making the new Iron Man movie, so it can be his official car. Kinda how Batman has the Batmobile. lol.

JZBE92 · 09-04-2012, 11:43 AM

do you have more shots of the whole car? o_O

Ricfutures · 09-04-2012, 07:44 PM

I see where you're going with the Ironman theme but IMO if you try and mimic exactly what is seen in comics and the movie it will come across really ghetto looking.

Given the "race inspired" nature of the M3 I would draw influence from that and merge it with the Ironman theme. IE: use bronze instead of gold. EAS recently showed how well this combo works with red: http://www.europeanautosource.com/co...nze-volk-te37s

Now that doesn't mean that you should bronze out all of your accents but the brake calipers would be another piece that would work well with red/bronze.

Now if you can get the hyper bronze Volks in this thread it will be a win win: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=735592
