Opinions -- exterior accessories all CF or all Gloss Black?
Hello everyone! Just seeing your opinion on Exterior accessories for a AW Bimmer.
Front grille, side markers, side mirror covers, spoiler -- all carbon fiber or all gloss black?

If money is no object then carbon fiber is the easy answer.
Something tells me you knew this already through lol

I plan to do a mixture. I don't like the CF grilles so I went with gloss black. I don't like imitating carbon fiber so I'll do a gloss roof wrap. I'll also do gloss black gills so I can go OEM. But I plan to do CF mirrors, CF lip, CF diffuser and it looks like the exhaust I'm leaning towards also has CF tips.
I think it's cool to mix. Too much CF might be a little too flashy for me personally. But I have specific opinions about the parts that I want to buy

Solid thanks for all the feedback!! Yeah I agree norcalmav...CF is much more expensive...but to be honest I saw the front grille on a LBB and wasn't a huge fan. I have an AW and that contrast may be better. I know IND is working on CF side markers which should be nice....ill post up pics once I do stage one of my upgrades :0) ...stage 2 is Dinan :0)

I have done my AW M2 with all gloss black; grill, gills (all gloss) & emblem. The roof will be wrapped gloss black later this week. If I do a diffuser & or splitter they will be CF. I'm leaving my mirrors white.
