i hope you all can help me out.. im undecided what color to paint my car.. a certain white..a pearl type of white.. or Black Java Pearl (w. gold pearl)..

if i did black java.. my painter was going to mist the gold/bronze pearl over carbon and after shoot clear.. this way in the sun you can see the carbon!.

but what you think>?

ah, just realized you have a 335i.

would you mind doing a quick writeup on rewiring the side blinkers? i heard the m3 ones are different than the 335i in terms of connection.

thanks.

yea the ibis white is nice and especially with more layers of clear and good buff it'll look wet all the time. what about Grand Prix white off s2000 and NSX.. non pearl.
