Doesn't fit well with the 1 series IMO, but if you like it, GO FOR IT! Afterall, its your car and it gives you that individuality.

I would keep it, but maybe only put it on for use on the track. Having it like that out in the open poses to great a possibility of someone to nab it. I like it though. Did you buy one for the rear as well? Where did you buy it from?

I Got it from **********s. I sent it back thinking I would not like it and they would not take it back for return due to some minor scratches from shipping. Oh well.... I'm stuck with it now. $60 is what I paid for it. Several colors to choose from. Thing is, I dont track the car, I just thought I would like the look of it. I know pretty silly. Thanks for the reply. I may just take it off.

how do you like them? Any reason you went w/ them over the amber gones? They look great in the front shots btw, not sure how I feel in the side/quarter views.

Also, just noticed the tii sticker... subtle, and looks awesome!

I love these covers. The amber gones are tinted stickers and I do think they look ok too. I wanted these because they were painted the same color as my car. I don't know if I would like them on any other color?
PS...I have one extra matte black tii decal you are welcome to. Message me your address if you are interested and I will drop it in the mail.

+1

Crime of opportunity, someone will have no use for it, but take it just to be a dick. Definitely sport it when going to the track though!
