E90 Matte white side markers

fdriller9 · 11-30-2010, 03:54 PM

So I decided to wrap my side markers in matte white vinyl and I'm not sure if I like it. The car is really dirty and the side markers are clean so maybe that's what's throwing it off. Oh and my mirrors are also wrapped.

What do you guys think?

Not bad, but I liked it more when it was original.
You guys are running out of things to mod on your car and now your wrapping signals... hahaha..

I agree, I think you were just looking for something to mod here! It doesn't look bad, but OEM looks better. The side marker is pretty clean and low profile anyway, no need to try to blend it. I think a better mod would be some white LED side marker bulbs.

Yea I had light smoke on them before and I think I regret swapping. I'm going to wash the car soon and see if it looks any better.

Next they'll be wrapping the ash tray in carbon fibre.

I was going to say taillights but ash tray is just as good.

I think it looks pretty cool! Very unique.

SoCal BimMn' · 11-30-2010, 10:56 PM

It's unique for sure. But I personally don't like it. I mean to each it's own. I personally feel the matte white on gloss white doesn't look as good matte black on gloss black. To me it just look unpainted. And too much vinyl is tacky on our cars unless of course you go full blown and wrap the whole car with it. Again just my 2 cents.

yamazaho · 12-03-2010, 05:55 PM

Looks weird, not something I would not do. I can't say what's weird about it, just....weird.
