Quick Question need opinions

Goes with the theme. Might as well keep it black. You can always eventually paint it red if you want.

I'd keep it this way, it looks nice! Blacking-out your rear emblems can also be an option, they come in gloss black as well.

I say keep it black, just as another member said, it matches the theme of the car, black/red. Get some black/red emblems and you are good to go my friend!

If you are talking about the roundels, I would keep them original. I was talking about the rear emblem (335i). If I were you i would replace the color matched grilles with gloss black, and get the rear emblem gloss black as well. I believe bimmian sells them!

My grill is matte black on the inside and colormatched on the outside. I debadged the car so I don't have the 335i emblem anymore.

If it was carbon fiber, I might keep it unpainted, but I think it will really flow better with the car if it is painted

Keep it black, make your fin black, make your exhaust tips black, get some CF mirrors, get some CF emblems, and call it a night.

In the pics provided, I think it looks nice with your wheels in black. Do you have other exterior parts (kidney grille, lower grille, window trim) in black and pretty dark tint? If so, I'd say leave it black as you can always paint it later.

I think it looks pretty cool with the time attack M6 wheels.

If you had some sort of black diffuser on the back, it would look even better.

Yeah my grill inserts are black, the lower mesh is black, my tint is 5%, and my trim is black.
