Racing Stripes, inspired by Mr. and Mrs. Smith
I just put racing stripes on my 330 xi. I would like to know what some of you think, as this isn't something that suits my personality at all. This picture isn't too incredibly revealing, but as soon as I get some more free time, I'll take some better pictures. I would like to get some ideas for more stuff that I can do to it to make it look more "villian"-esque, so if you have any, let me know.

Interesting. I like it, but I wouldn't have done it as my first mod. You definitely need more exterior mods to complete the look. Rims and a drop is a good start- then a front lip or bodykit!

Nice stripe, I like it!
Rims, drop, and front lip as previously noted. Don't go too far, keep it simple. |

hmm... yeah i think i'd like to see it in person.. too
got any more pics from alternate angles? post em... When the e90 first came out, i noticed that it looked good only on BMW's website and in person lol, some pics from certain angles don't justify its sexiness lol |

I can't was the car for another 15 days on the count of the paint and the clearcoat. As soon as I can, I'll wash it, and take some seriously sexy photos and post them. I don't think I'd consider dropping the car. It's low enough for me, and I don't want to tweek in any way the fantastic BMW suspension. But the body kit idea is really great. I'm going to check out some body kits in the forum. Thanks for the feedback and the great ideas. Oh, and I agree with the "keep it simple" idea. I think the fastest way to drive the sexiness away from the E90 is to go just one step too far.

I have always liked that kind of stripe...wide and off-center.
Now you need rear spacers, rims, and black out grilles.
