Help choosing my last cosmetic mod..

ducatiti · 05-31-2016, 12:09 AM

So after convincing my wife for me to purchase little mods within the past few months, I have to decide between the following:

Roof Spoiler or Front splitters (both from eBay)

What would you guys choose? I recently installed a carbon fiber trunk spoiler and now trying to decide what should I get next, and last. Wifey simply thinks that I should not further spend for a car this old..

This is what it looked like a month or so ago

Front splitters

Bimmette is right ... splitters FTW

Oh and I have posted it before but this may help with future discussions with your better half when it comes to mods lol

Splitters. Multiple spoilers looks too busy.

Fundguy1 · 05-31-2016, 07:24 AM

Splitters. Frankly wheels are what your car is screaming for. Both sets are snoozville.

AllBlackBimmer · 05-31-2016, 09:56 AM

front splitters by far.

I have a similar rear spoiler in CF, and I have thought about a roof spoiler but I fear it may look too busy along with the trunk spoiler.

and +1 on wheels.... new wheels would really take your car to another level...

Eibach Pro-kit springs.

Nothing. I have never done an exterior mod, save wheels, because I really like it just as it rolled off the assembly line. It sorta reminds me of the elderly woman in Spain who thought she'd restore a famous church fresco, that she could actually paint as well or better than the original artist! Check out the result. I guess this is how I feel about mods in general. Not against them, they just have to be better than the original BMW engineers' design. But that's just my .02 from an older generation than most of you.

Bruh, wut? ^

Screw the roof spoiler and just go full rice and get a nice big wing.

IMO, wheels should be next. Ive got those same wheels as my winter set, and they suck. I am always looking forward to warm weather.

Needs spacers and a drop.

That lady actually tried to clean the painting, fucked it up, then did the botched re-paint to try to hide her fuck up.

Also, to OP - "last"

STRMTRPR · 05-31-2016, 06:25 PM

Go with the splitters, back is gonna look too much with the spoilers. And may i ask where you got your blackline's from?

max_330i · 05-31-2016, 06:29 PM

I don't like roof spoilers at all, and I'm not a big fan of splitters either. They look nice on highly modified cars but yours is relatively stock.

If you're looking into a legitimate "last" cosmetic mod, then I would suggest you tint your windows. It looks nice on black and serves a practical purpose.

bkwld · 05-31-2016, 07:14 PM

+1 Tint. and maybe spacers for those nice wheels

Modding will never end...

randi41 · 06-02-2016, 02:24 AM

Since you already have a trunk spoiler, front splitters will be a nice addition.

engineer73 · 06-02-2016, 01:08 PM

Just throwing this out there.... But how about some through the hood chrome exhaust tips, JK. Your car looks 100% better without those sleepy old stock wheels. Go splitter and tint.

_335xi · 06-02-2016, 01:16 PM

go with the splitters for sure .

PichaDis11 · 06-02-2016, 02:18 PM

Splitters.

But if you must...

1. LCI Halogens.
2. Tints.

BSM n54iS · 06-02-2016, 02:32 PM

LAST cosmetic mod??

GL with that!
