sitting on the fence. thinking of wrapping the side mirrors in matte black to follow the rest of the matte black window trim and grills.

without wrapping

with wrapped side mirrors

if you're going to do that, you should do your roof black also. The mirrors look better red because it flows better with the rest of the body color.

i dont see why not, do it and enjoy and easily reversed. Looks good either way.

i say you should do gloss black instead. i just think matte black mirrors look like DX models.

That's what I was thinking. But wrapping the roof may ruin the clean look I've been trying to go for. Hmmm

True. Yea my local guys asking $30 to wrap

hipnotic · 12-09-2011, 06:18 PM

do it, but also get darker tint so it matches your car

Yea I was thinking maybe that would bring it together without wrapping the roof?

liall · 12-09-2011, 06:51 PM

yes but only if you are going to do the roof black as well

335 oClock · 12-09-2011, 06:52 PM

Got close ups? I was thinking of plasti dipping too! Couldn't find plasti dip at autozone. Where'd you find yours

ramirez330i · 12-10-2011, 12:46 AM

I'm in the same boat as you... Even after a few months I still haven't decided... But if I was to do it than it would be in gloss black.

Haha! Yea it's one mod I've been sitting on the fence w for so long. Feel like wrapping the root may be too "flashy?"

Lol! Driving a RED BMW is already flashy. Getting the roof done will only hide some of that "flashy" color.

Nah but if you end up doing the roof and mirrors, I wanna know! Lol.

matteucciE92 · 12-10-2011, 04:02 AM

I like them black' go for it.

Haha true. I just meant cars with too may contrasting accents everywhere was always kind of an eye sore for me.

I think I'm gonna go for it, now it's just deciding if I need to wrap the roof with it or if window tint will still pull it off

I think wrapping your mirrors will take away from that clean look. It will disrupt the lines of the car, IMO.

How about matte red? Subtle but different. This is like what I did with my car. My mirrors are wrapped in matte white so are my sidemarkers. Idk how matte red will blend with you car though.
