Carbon Fiber front/side grills

VinnyA320 · 02-11-2015, 07:41 PM

I'm going back and forth on getting these CF pieces for my M3 coming soon. Does anyone have any pictures of them installed? I'd like to see a few pics before going with them over gloss black. My M3 will be SO/SO with black 19s. thanks!

I was going to get cf front grills and sides but fast n furious just popped in my mind. I think too much cf is tacky so I went black.

The front grill is a little much IMO but I like the sides. IND only offers these in a 1x1 weave which will not match any of the M Performance parts.

isn't the cf roof 1x1? that's my worry as stated before..I don't want too much cf and to be honest I'm not sure if the cf will even be seen unless you're close on the front grills. $600+ for the grills when I can just get the gloss surrounds. hmm.. decisions decisions

Go with the black. Not a big fan of the 1x1 on these parts.

Its not that noticeable till you get up close for CF front grills but the amount of rock chips it would get, would screw it up for me haha.

I've learned to get all my cf parts clearcoated.

thanks for the input guys. I'm going to hold off for now as I have a lot of other mods planned. I may just play it safe and go with gloss black. lots of pics of them on cars and they look great.(considerably cheaper too)

I can't say that I'm super interested in carbon fiber grills, but I would like to see them installed before making a decision.
