New CF Window trim and Spoiler

EvolutionTheory · 07-23-2011, 09:20 PM

My first cosmetic mods came in, carbon fiber spoiler and carbon fiber side window frame overlays. I got the side overlays to help the CF Spoiler blend in with the rest of the car. Still on the edge over CF Side mirror replacements. I don't want to overdo this look.

I'm having a hard time deciding if these look decent of if they're real tacky.
What do you guys think? Future mods on the way are 18" Forgestar F14's in gunmetal, KW Coilovers, and I'm shopping for an M3-like front and rear bumper.

Looks good to me

would look better if you painted your chrome trim

I'd pass on them.

I was thinking about doing this to my alpine white car with 5% tint. I have blacked out window trim as well.

The spoiler is fine but, I think the carbon trim is a bit hokey. You definitely need to black out the chrome trim if you are going to use carbon as an accent.

EvolutionTheory · 07-24-2011, 08:32 PM

Can you just have the chrome trim painted, and it'll reliably last without flaking?

I couldn't find aftermarket shops selling the shadowline trim.

AaronLBeltran · 07-28-2011, 01:22 PM

Spoiler, positive. Trim, negative. CF+chrome+your cars color, negative.

edirtaynine · 07-28-2011, 01:28 PM

i think it would look better with gloss black pillars and window trim instead.

even the cf spoiler seems a bit out of place to me as it is... maybe if u had a cf roof... but then i think cf roofs with moonroof looks dumb too. so... no on both the cf spoiler and door pillars lol

Pull the carbon door trim, it looks too tacked on.

darkrom · 07-29-2011, 01:53 PM

I had the CF door trim and it peeled and looked like shit

it looked great while it was on and flush, but it'll peel and look worse than stock.

Not to mention the HOURS of work getting the 3m goop off the door panels
