I am about to purchase the LX kit come christmas time and have it painted and installed for spring to mach up with my nice new RPF1's. Thing is I think most people are not taking full advantage of what it is meant to look like.

The rear bumper which I dont have a pic of on this comp has an arched indentation arount the exhaust, much like the M3's do that should be painted flat/matte black.

The front lip has the same thing but I see day in and day out people just spraying the entire lip the color of the car. I feel that it should be masked and painted a matte black to further enhance the opening of the front grill. Allowing for a mean and more aggressive look.

Here is what I mean.............
orgininal

and I believe this member already did it but its hard to tell with shadowing.


BTW my car is Silverstone.
Let me know what you think. I think the black out will be much much nicer.

 

yea definately do the black part

 

i say paint the whole front lip one colour, it's a cleaner look. definitely paint the rear arch though..i think barashaz or something like that has the same paint scheme as i described..

 

+1.

 

just dremel out the rear portion....

 

I personally much prefer it in all one color - the dual colors looks awkward considering its all one piece, not 2

 

Proper...

 

Get the sides and rear molded like mine - came out pretty cool.

 

I personally like it all 1 color. Here's a couple of rear shots from members from this site respectively...

 

pics didnt work^^

any why would they put that indention there if it wasnt meant to flow with the stock opening??

 

They work for me...

Monochromatic ftw.

 

Mine is CF...i like it so much.

 

Carbon fiber overlay for the middle section or authentic CF? Replica?

Looks very clean, I like it. Are those C20 sides, they fit well with the Ings.

 

Thanx!, it's Carbon fiber overlay. The sides and rear are C20.
