[SR2007]

Only had my car for about three months now, and can't stop tinkering with it. Ive only done a couple things and would like some input on the rest let me know what you think.
1. Iconz 19" wheels (M3 Offet) 2 1/2 inch front and 4 1/2 lip rear Chrome with gloss black
2. CF M3 style hood
3. Gloss black vinyl
4. 2% Window tint
5. Black out tail light
6. Led rear license plate light
7. CF interior trim wrap waiting to put on but not sure

Things i want to finish by the end of the month
1. CF grilles
2. CF amuse trunk
3. CF rear window spoiler Hamman style
4. CF roof vinyl to match, but really not to sure how its going to match
4. Aero M front lip
5. KW2 kit - looking to slam it to the ground but my aggressive offset is killing me in the back

Is this too much, hate to make it look ricey. the biggest thing is doing a 335 exhuast conversion. Not really sure yet but let me know what yal think.

[hipnotic]

good start

[kevin@bavarianx]

I would paint the hood.

[usu335i]

+1 on painting the hood

also get some painted reflectors for the front bumper

[JayKay335i]

Paint the hood. Delete the reflectors. Looks pretty ricey and nowhere near aggressive enough for the black/TiAg look IMHO.

[MF80]

It already looks ricey as it is...
Paint the hood and leave those CF here and there parts for Honda kids.

[SR2007]

So far it seems like the same input. I love CF just looks really cool during the day. I thought about just painting the outside of the hood all the way to the pillars. And painting the trunk similiar style to the CSL paint that everybody does. I really want to change the grille out but not sure which way to go then. Thought about gloss black. Reflectors must go you guys are right, after looking at the pics myself kinda stands out!!!

I know I know doesn't mean I can't try lol. Not a big fan of the TIAG, but got a great deal on the car and fell in love with that coral red interior. One step away from trading the damn thing in for a new M3 or M6. Still trying to convince to let me buy another car. Aside from painting the hood got any suggestion all inputs would be great.

gotta paint the hood and delete the side markers, but also would recommend getting an aero lip and black grills. and stop smoking newports jk

[SV Concepts III]

Paint the hood and get a set of body color or clear bumper reflectors to start.

[Robben@ltbmw]

gotta paint the hood like everyone say. cf hood doesn't look good with light color cars.

i would definitely either get mtech front or aero lip+painted reflector. and if you want that black theme on the window, you should also wrap your window trim to gloss black.

Vinyl the shark fin. Ditch the riced out tails. Get an mtech, aero, m3, or some other bumper. Definitely needs something to make it more aggressive and I'm not sure how much just a lip will do with all that black. Paint the hood, fade to CF on the powerdome to show some CF. Gloss or matte black grills.

I personally think TiAg is an awesome color.

[SR2007]

I did some research, and painting the hood is a must everybody is right. I have a few pics with ideas. I want to keep the chrome shadow lines to match the lip of the wheels. But I do need some black to match the wheels as well.






I found these examples what do yal think? Most of all should i loose the roof vinyl if i paint??? And what color grille should i go with??? I decided with going with an M3 front bumper for a little more aggressive look, and the matching side skirts down the line.

[SR2007]

Bump would love more input?????

[JayKay335i]

You dont have an m3. I dont believe there are any splitters for the rep m3 bumpers. And putting a quad exhaust on an 328 is kinda pointless IMHO.

[Tiz113]

You did all these mods and didnt get painted reflectors

[SR2007]

The quad bumpers were more for the cosmectics ofcourse. Trying to pull a few extra ponies out of this car is a well... Ill just leave it as that. I showed the pictures for ideas on how to paint the front. I dont want to cover the whole hood, I would like to show some of the carbon fiber to match the wheels.

Painted Reflectors eh, I know I tend to go backwards when I start these modding craves. I big the expensive things first and work my way down. But Im ordering a set this week, its time to start pulling this thing together and get it all done, my goal is the end of the month.

[JayKay335i]

Just fade up the sides of the powerdome and leave the top CF.

[c_jeong89]

tiag is an awesome color if u do it right but do it wrong it can look ricey.

[SR2007]

So i got the paint scheme for the hood down. Still clueless on what vinyl and grill to stick with. I currently have gloss vinyl but really debating on swapping out to CF but dont want it to look tacky. And the chrome grilles have to go.

[Tiz113]

Just curious but no tint law in Maryland?

[BimmerRob]

CF on tiag just doesn't look good imho. silver cars should be subtle and clean. MW is a different story on that M3 since those contrasts look well together. definitely get some quads w/diffuser
