I want your opinion on paint job please

GGMUE90 · 04-18-2012, 11:11 PM

I wanna paint the top black and get carbon fiber hood/trunk

would that look bad?

arctic330i · 04-18-2012, 11:13 PM

I think so yes. You mean exposed CF hood and trunk so its a "dark" stripe on the top of the car? I think it's ghetto personally.

GGMUE90 · 04-18-2012, 11:18 PM

yeah pretty much the whole top will be black

thanks for the opinion I don't want to spend large amount of $ for it too look bad

ChuckBMW3 · 04-18-2012, 11:18 PM

^ What he said. Personally, I would focus on wheels/tint/blacked grills prior to paint and body mods

oldblue · 04-18-2012, 11:19 PM

Dark Stripe Indeed.

What ghetto cars have carbon fiber hoods and trunks lol... Those are caddys on 26s

username604 · 04-18-2012, 11:44 PM

i think you should get wheels and some sport/race springs first!
save the carbon fiber for when the car has been extensively modded already

Game · 04-18-2012, 11:57 PM

I think you tried to paint the tires.

MCoupeInsanity · 04-19-2012, 12:05 AM

Yeah don't do that.

yakev724 · 04-19-2012, 12:09 AM

Wheels + tires. Blacklines. H&R Sport. Tint. Spacers. Frosted amber overlays/LCI Headlights. Go.

Kayani_1 · 04-19-2012, 12:13 AM

......+1.....this must be one hell of a modern ghetto full of enthusiast that love carbon fiber.

Carbon fiber is now ghetto........

.....wow a lot of M3 guys with the ghetto stock Cf roof are now offended.

when i see unpainted carbon fiber parts, i think
A) Your'e showing off how much you spent to "upgrade" your car or
B) You spent too much money on your "upgrades" and now you can't afford paint

IMO

BTW the oem cf hood is an exception

Slow_335i · 04-19-2012, 12:26 AM

Wheels and tires then drop

Dark_Knight_335 · 04-19-2012, 05:08 AM

As I see it, if you're gonna slap CF ANYTHING on your ride, you better have an aggressive car to back it up, else you're just asking for racer bois to smoke you at every light and turn.

I think of it as having minimum hardware requirements to throw a software program on your computer.

There is a reason CF comes as an option pretty much on 335iS/ M3s only.

Again, just an opinion.

Simply put ... yes.

Ghost335i# · 04-19-2012, 05:17 AM

just try a black top with a csl trunk silver and instead of buying a hood buy some bbs lm with lowering springs or coilovers

ChasVS · 04-19-2012, 06:33 AM

Do the roof only. then up the wheels and spoiler/lip, etc. But don't go too aggressive if the motor won't live up to the look!

GGMUE90 · 04-19-2012, 08:01 AM

good advice guys thanks
