forget this, throw on the LCI tail lights! those would look so much more impressive.

Agreed. Change them out.

I remember seeing those dark headlights on lowered pickup trucks in the early 90's.

doesn't look so bad. I don't like tinted tails but this look pretty cool

1cleanm6 · 05-25-2010, 08:01 PM

Doesnt really match the M3 culture, IMO.

i had the grills and side vents blacked out.. also the wheels will be powdercoated next week.. reflectors are painted too...

actually the whole idea is to make everything black on the car...
otherwise wouldnt paint the taillights alone..

You're a "frozen black" kind of guy. Keep doing what you're doing...I'm sure it looks great.

that's %100 true

Leozap · 05-25-2010, 09:42 PM

barely see the lights if you blink your eyes a couple of times... too dark.

Well, if it actually were "frozen" black car instead of gloss then the lights would look ok. I say put the LCI lights on. Or paint the car a "frozen" or matte black. Maybe a vinyl wrap would do?

Cheers.

just will be blacked out... all parts are will be gloss including side vents and front grills..

leave painting taillights to JDM. a very slight tint to give it the blackline look is one thing, but fullblown tint or painting is ruining the car. my opinion

M3Alpine · 05-26-2010, 05:18 PM

looks good but i like the lci too

DevJ · 05-26-2010, 05:23 PM

looks pretty good. leave em.
