CF or painted splitters on Montego E90? PS request

Spazdoc · 02-09-2007, 02:42 PM

Hey guys. I just ordered my 335i and am trying to get some things in line for immediate modification (blacklines, rims, LEDs, etc). One issue is the choice of the splitters - I have not seen any Montego Blue sedans with the splitters painted or not and I was hoping for opinions.

1. Should I get the painted splitters (like at jleviSW) or unpainted CF?

2. Can anyone shoot me a pic or PS the CF splitters on a Montego Blue?

Very huge thanks in advance.

Here are stressdoc's and Jason's 335i. Can anyone photoshop a CF splitter onto these, if possible? I have seen it on gray and black, and unpainted looks fine. On a white and titanium, it does not flow.

I always go for CF accents. But that might be influence of my Ducati.

the reason I ask is that on the darker color (like black or CF), you lose some of the detail due to dark color.

Not montego blue but you can extrapolate...

Thanks man. That settles it 100% for painted.

I asked my brother (he tunes Porsche, BMW, and AMG Merc's for fun) and he put it nicely - you've got a really nice, sleek, fast car. you don't need some unmatched CF trinkets to make people think that you are fast. Let the 4-bangers do that....
