carbon fiber or gloss black accessories?
just guy my AW M3 .. i love it! time to start tweaking it, right? well i'm a little bit torn an what to do as far as trim pieces. we have a CF roof (and interior trim in my case) and the option for several more CF trim pieces on the exterior (i'm talking about front diffusers/lip, rear trunk lip, rear diffuser, side mirrors…
my concern is … is this TOO much weave? since the grille surrounds and side blades are gloss black, how about gloss black for mirrors caps, trunk, rear diffuser? i know i saw a guy who had a painted rear diffuser and another with a spoiler that just had the top painted and underside was still exposed CF ... anyone else mixing & matching CF with painted stuff? kind of a minor point here, but interested to see how it's turning out if people are doing it. Thanks in advance! |

I was wondering if they will come out with CF accents; front grill, sidemarkers, side grill, etc... but I'm too impatient and ordered gloss black. Maybe I'll switch it up if they ever come out with CF.

I had a mix of color matched, gloss black, and carbon bits on my space gray M3. I think some parts make sense carbon and some in gloss black. I agree that too much exterior CF gets to be a bit too much. I already have gloss black front grill and side marker. I'll probably do CF in a rear spoiler, mirror caps and diffuser.

I have a BSM M4. I want the color matched trunk lip, but right now I am settling for the CF trunk lip. No more CF for me. Of course, I did without a CF roof, IOT get a moonroof and functional roof racks, so I might be biased.
