Yes or NO: Blacklines on AW

Minipuck V 2.0 · 04-26-2007, 05:00 PM

i think its great that you are asking people but at the end of the day you are the one driving this car. not us. you need to mod the car according to your liking. if you think it looks good on your car, slap them on. if you think they don't then don't get them. everyone will have their own opinion and you will get both sides.

i don't know, personally i would be even more confused after all these different opinions

I have black lines on my AW E90 and it looks better than stock, but doesn't look exactly right to me. One of these days I am going to attempt the conversion to Chrome lines. If you closely at true clear lights the plastic behind the lens is actually chrome. The biggest problem is finding paint that actually looks chrome. I have purchased some and test patterns on scrap plastic looks silver not Chrome. Once I find some that looks good I will start the project.

I think blacklines look great on AW especially.. that's just my opinion. The whitelines are simply blacklines removing the smoked layer of the taillights.

I think e90s in all colours look better with blacklines

Kiemyster · 04-26-2007, 10:23 PM

Just slap it on and judge by yourself.

Uh.... not exactly. Look again at your lights. They are optically clear. the tint effect is because there is black plastic in there instead of chrome.

i dunno.... im leaning towards not doing it.....
