CF vs Gloss black IB E92

cntgetm3 · 02-18-2012, 10:32 PM

CF vs Gloss black accents on interlagos blue E92?
I'm looking to replace the hood vents, side markers, and front grill on my m3 and I'm debating between gloss black and CF. I have the sunroof so there is no visible CF currently on the car. I just feel like too much exterior CF will look tacky... opinions greatly appreciated

Gloss black

Gloss Black Accents FTW

IND has everything you need btw

Cf! Looks more upscale than black IMO

Cf will fade under the sun, and the color will become kind of yellow, I don't like.

Either way you go just do all of em the same. I choose the blk over carbon. The blk seems so flow better with all the accents of blk the cars have. Cf seemed to look like an add on and not a seamless integrated part.

I was thinking that athe CF might not look right because i dont have a CF roof, i think im just gonna go with gloss black

Gloss Black !

gloss black. go look at gatorviator's car and see for yourself how good gloss black looks on IB.

Quick question...if you put a CF on the roof and have it clear coated will it still fade later on??

cntgetm3 · 02-19-2012, 05:05 PM

Gloss Black it is. Now the question remains what to do first...

Def gloss black. I have an IB E92 with a sunroof also. There is already gloss black accents on the car so it seems like an obvious choice to me.
