TiAg with Matte black...What do you think?

stevetx77 · 03-26-2010, 12:39 AM

Recently decided to improve the look of my car with Matte black grille's and badging. I'm definitely looking into some 18" CSL's from eas. I also painted the lower front grille's with black plasti-dip and I think it turned out great and looks awesome! What do ya'll think?

Not a fan of the badge.

Yeah, I went back and forth with matte black and de-badging. To each his own I guess. I think it looks good with the rest of the matte black. it's subtle but noticeable. Can't impress everybody but I appreciate your input!

JayKay335i · 03-26-2010, 01:27 AM

All good. I've got TiAg too so I've always been throwing around ideas.

I have TiAg with the gloss black bmw performance grilles and black/silver cf roundels. I ordered a cf 335i badge to match the roundel but its lost in the mail somewhere. Next step is to paint the lower grilles when I get time.

I think it looks good!

ibeclueless · 03-26-2010, 08:03 AM

not bad

Chewy734 · 03-26-2010, 09:05 AM

Looks good! I'm not sure how much I like the rear badge, but the front grills are great!

zesus-3 · 03-26-2010, 10:47 AM

numbers look horrible....looks like the 46 other cars I saw in the past 2 days on here.

jonerik26 · 03-26-2010, 10:52 AM

always a nice combo

GME92 · 03-26-2010, 10:56 AM

The grills look good, but please don't ever get a lip or splitters of any sort.

Patrys@BimmerTech · 03-26-2010, 11:47 AM

Looks good !
What about your window trim ?
If it's not black yet then you should definitely do it.

stevetx77 · 03-26-2010, 11:52 AM

Nope, no splitters or lips for my car. Thanks for the comments...good or bad.

It came black from the factory. I've yet to personally see an e92 with the chrome window trim, but I know they exist.

black from the...what? Thought that was 328 (matte black) or M3 (gloss black) only.

My 335 sedan has chrome trim. Actually getting it wrapped today! (also have the black numbers...and I like em...)

Yup! 2009 e92 with factory black window trim. Saved me a lot of work I guess!

Dirnegrey · 03-26-2010, 12:52 PM

looks good..

SV Concepts III · 03-26-2010, 01:46 PM

I think it looks clean, just carry the blackout theme throughout the car to match.

huyner328 · 03-26-2010, 02:33 PM

Matte ftw. Not a huge fan of the gloss look. Rear badge however, is not to my liking personally. I prefer debadged, looks much cleaner imho.
