i think that the painted moldings give it a nicer more modern style, but i just might have to bring them back to stock. i was thinking maybe some smoked lights all around or something. maybe some shadowlining and grill too
usually i would say black on the mouldings, but the front of your car look way too hot to go back to black. i would say black brake cooling ducts, black rockers, black door handels, and smoke the front turn signals (MHW). if you wanna go all out i think shaving the moulding on the sides of the car would look nice. Usually not having the black mouldings on a white car is just too much white, but your car really pulls it off.
you could do black sidemoldings and euro trim. or you could leave it all white and do smoked ellipsoids, black kidneys and smoked tails.. but I wouldn't do the CF hood on a white car, not unpainted anyway; it would look like you had a shitty unpainted hood to everyone else.
I think it cheapens the look when you color match everyting on your
car's exterior, it would look so much better if you had black mouldings,
bumper strips, handles and rockers. I'd also get some wheels with dark or
black centers with high poilsh lips.
Remove the trim and put a black stripe where it was~ sort of a negative moulding
I forgot whose car i saw it on, but it was sweet looking~ I saved the pic but couldnt find where I found it first, so props to whoever this belongs to!
Im not sure it would look quite as good on a white car though
I say shadowline, paint the underbody and is lip black, and yellow lamin-x bright headlight protectors. Minimum work effort, and I think it would change the look of the car completely.
Smoke headlights, Smoke signals and side markers, Euro Rear plate filler, Black Brake ducts, Shadowline front kidneys, shadowline window surrounds, black 'iS' splitter, tinted windows, and black door handle.
Should look sweet after some contrast comes back.
I never liked the look of painted moldings on white cars... makes the car not as sporty with color match trim.
I think if you had the stuff listed above you don't have to remove your color moldings.
Also your car really needs some sideskirts. Its like crying for it more than most of our e30s on the board. Maybe cause they are white now?
