Mtech bumper looks better in lighter vehicle color?

To me the LCI mtech front bumper looks so much better in a lighter color than black. Something odd about the shadow/light relfection above the foglights on black vehicles. Is that just me?

Yep. Modding a black car is totally different than modding a white or lighter color car. However, they both look good with the mtech, just the white looks even better.

By the way what wheels are in the first pic?

White and lighter colors makes the m-tech more visible than black.
Plus, it makes it easier to see the contrast between the actual car body and the grille and vents.

Therefore, I would say if you want a more pronounced m-tech look, white (and lighter colors) is the way to go!

***However, if you are going to go all out and mod your car, I think more mods look much better on a black car.
examples: carbon fiber anything looks better on black, hoods similar to M3 stock with more vents or diff design looks better on black, etc.
