Matte Blue Metallic Wrap
Just felt like sharing my new project. Just purchase a Silver 08 M3 Coupe last week. Decided i wanted to make it unique before i really even begin to use it. I fell in Love with a frozen blue metallic M3 i saw online and decided to take on the DIY project.
So far just a few not so great images with my phone. But you get the idea. I'll be taking pro pics once the car is fully finished. Took approx. 2 full days of work between 4 people (including myself and slight help from the 4th guy) at my friend's custom shop (Golden Customs in Chester NY) to do all of the wrapping/painting of trims (matte black) incl. mufflers. Next weekend i'm going to be painting my roof flat black as well as the stock wheels (I'd consider after-market but i live in NYC. Too many jacked up roads so im keeping the stock wheels) Im also looking to change the halo bulbs to white and adding front and back CF diffusers to finish it off. Thoughts? Opinions?

I like the color, but the tails look fake.

Thank you. I hear you on the lights. Kind of makes the car look like a toy lol but im totally cool with it.... I thought about keeping the tail lights stock, but i was going to matte black my roof and wheels no matter what.... and i don't like half-ass darkened lights cuz they just look like a failed attempt and tinting the lights IMO. So i went flat black.

Not bad , I just don't like tinted tail lights to begin with, so I am sure you can imagine how I feel about these

Be careful with extreme tint on taillights. If someone runs into the back of you, they can claim that you have improper taillights, and make life more complicated than it already is. Just from a safety standpoint, I'd remove the tint.
Otherwise, the blue looks good.

LMAO!!! With all the flat black the car will have once im done... i dont think stock tails will be an option. They'll stand out like a sore thumb. I'll have to live with the matte black tails.

this makes no sense as all cars have head and taillamps... My car is all black w/ black wheels and the OEMS lights front and rear look fine. IMO it sticks out the way it is, but the wrap is cool! |

I kinda like the tail lights and, I usually don't like tinted tails. Give it a chance till you get the rest completed. Love the wrap.

We just finished doing an is300 this color at our shop last week, if this is the same color we used, these pics do not do the color justice! You used the new 3m color right?
Check out our customer's is300 just before wrapping up http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater |
