I like the paint scheme on the lip man, your car now looks much better without the amber reflector!!!

1cleanm6 · 08-09-2008, 10:02 PM

ah i dont know im happy i got a oem aero lip...

sory im not feeling the whole paint thing in the front with the lip...looks messy

Andrew@ET · 08-09-2008, 10:36 PM

i think because the cf they used is a little lighter than black and the uv coating has a white tint to it so it does look as black as cf usually does. its cool tho having a lip no one in miami or florida for that matter has.

lul77 · 08-11-2008, 06:23 PM

looks good. post some better pics

hun77777 · 08-11-2008, 06:52 PM

who did you get those cf emblems from? i've heard a lot of people having issue with trunk emblem fitment due to its roundy shape on trunk.

Andrew@ET · 08-11-2008, 10:09 PM

i posted where everything came from under the pics. mforce they are flawless !

simp0man · 08-12-2008, 12:08 AM

I'm loving that black roof!

Andrew@ET · 08-12-2008, 01:00 AM

thanks me too lol

SteveMondragon · 08-12-2008, 09:03 PM

The car is clean except for the front lip. Not feeling that half-tone color with CF showing. Looks like a small mouth open saying 'duh' with some hairy wiskers coming out on the sides.

simp0man · 08-12-2008, 09:12 PM

Did you paint the roof or vinyl it?

Andrew@ET · 08-12-2008, 10:25 PM

lol its saying duhhhh.. guess its not for every one huh

it is vinyl sir

simp0man · 08-13-2008, 12:02 AM

I am having some trouble looking for a local to get me a premaid vinyl layout.

Andrew@ET · 08-13-2008, 12:10 AM

bluebat sells them .. Don't make this like the scoops ..

DieselClown · 08-13-2008, 12:15 AM

i personally hate the panda or multicolored look. CF only looks good on black or dark gray cars IMO. I think it will look so much better just painted to match.

Cinnamon · 08-13-2008, 07:51 AM

Hello! I do agree covering the amber was nice! I like the CF front. It really gives the car a sporty look and it really draws attention to them. I am a big fan of white BMWs. The black roof is also a neat touch! I think it all ties up together nice. Made me "ohhhhhh again".

I know others say they are not feeling the CF but...I think it works. I get that it really pops against the white but that is a neat look. Would I do it with MY white car (if I had one)? Maybe not since I am not a super mod chick. However, I can I admire the look and think it is sharp and sporty. Mean. Would it turn my head on the highway?? YES!

Will you give me a ride?

Cinnamon · 08-13-2008, 07:59 AM

Hun77777 -

Got a set of CF off Ebay three weeks ago. All 7 parts ordered. All fit well. The back (trunk) one seemed "loose" so I added a touch of 3M tape to be safe. Worried someone would walk by and just take it or it would fall off during diving. Just seemed too loose. But I think it fits well as far as fitting in the back indentation. Let me know if you want pics up close?
I paid $90 including a jacked up shipping/insurance fee.

Only issue is SOMETIMES the front hood roundel has a dark blueish reflection/shine at certain angles when light hits it. I dont mind this per say--but dont notice it on the others (they just have a black reflection/shine). I cant decide if the fabric is slightly different dye color OR IF it is because it is on my front hood and the sun/light hits it different.

Anyway.....GL!

Andrew@ET · 08-13-2008, 09:16 AM

like i said its not for everyone ... but what customized car is right? My rear emblem came with cf tape on it just like the stock one did maybe e92 and e90 are different

you can come for a ride if my gf says its ok

thanks for the nice comments sweetie
