Dan, I think the new lights and MTech spoiler look awesome.

Shave both badges off the trunklid and get a plate filler. The wing looks cool black, just need a front IS lip now.

[DanGillan]

i DEFINATELY! need an "is" lip now (with splitter) that's next on my exterior "list" after wheels, which hopfully are in the works now. Im not 100% sure about the plate filler because i think it might be too much black back there, but im definately thinking about it. thanks man

Looks good Dan, but I'll agree...keep the spoiler off until you get the rest of the kit, or at least the front lip to balance it out. You got a good deal on it, and you were smart to buy it...doesn't mean you gotta slap it on your car right away though :)

I'm also ( :shock: ) with the few on the board that agree the clear lights and chrome kidneys are the best combo...even though I do have a black kidney on my car ;)

I agree on liking clear headlights more than smoked as well Jordan, I love smoked tails though...

[Gus]

paint the spoiler silver...black makes it look bigger than it is....and shave completely, clean rear ends look shizzle

Can't say I like them, though they look good on some cars...Gregg's for one. I'm a huge stickler for factory appearance though.

finally scott, a post! where the hell have you been? As much as you all love clear lights, everytime I see the front end of my car with the smoked's, i cant stop looking at how sweet they are! i love em'

Haha, I know you miss me Dan...it's understandable ;) I've been busy at my garage, doing lots of work to my car (starter! thank GOD!) as well as a few other friends. It was getting rather embarrassing to always push start the car...especially at the canadian border coming home...:roll:

Long days there without internet access (yet), and add to that I was off work since the 22nd, and just moved to a new apartment, so haven't gotten the internet set up there either...and it's been hard to get online. I'm back on now though...stupid work.

Dan, the smokeds look good with white and silver cars IMO, the dark cars don't look right with them. Too much dark.

PS- pm me about the z4 3.0 stuff, I want to buy it all friday and put it in, you game? We can do both cars.

[DanGillan]

I already did my z4 stuff... check your PM's

i agree, smoked look good on light cars (like mine) and bad on dark cars, i looove my smoked lights.

Shit, I thought I was alone on this. When I look at the Triple Threat thread, to me the cars without smoked ellips look so much better.

I'm also a stock chrome grill fanatic, although on black cars a blacked out grill can look good.

My favorite combination, which, alas, I'm going to copy, is black car, plastic bumpers, shadowline INNER window trim, chrome OUTER window trim, and chrome kidney. Joel at the Euro Depot's car is set up like this...just plain beautiful.

I like the all black look on black cars. I want to smoke the tails, sides, and front turns. I don't think it'd look right unless I got smoked ellips. I think that setup just makes them look mean.

But I think if you smoked the ellips, you couldn't smoke the grille, or vise versa.

[DanGillan]

that's what im doing, smoked tails are all I have left :twisted:


so?? should I definately shave ALL the emblems?

[Digitalwave]

Yes, all except the roundel.
