I just got them and I am considering doing gold centers, glossy black, matte black, or some shade of gray.

Have fun with it! And if you wanna stick an MV GTR lip on the front that'd be cool too.. (backordered..:( getting anxious)

Thanks BFC

Here ya go, not the best, but I think it will do. I'm not good enough to do a new lip though, maybe the Great Gatsby can help you there :)

Gold....

The matte black would go good with smoked amber corners! I saw your other thread and it would look good.

Thanks E36M34Life :buttrock I am not digging gold with ambers, those colors do not flow at all.

At this point I am liking black more than gold, but I am unsure of black being better than satin, what I have now.

Anybody wanna try their hand at the GTR lip? There is a massive thread to get source pics from..just make sure its the GTR not the RS ;)

Hope the owner doesnt mind me stealin the pic, but this gives you an idea. Not CCW's, but close enough to get the point.

Nogaro silver/ gun metal would look pretty hot IMO. :alright

Honestly, I think the setup you have right now plus the GTR lip would be the best, that's just MO of course, but it looks damn clean right now. Actually, I prefer the RS lip, but the GTR is nice too, especially since thats what you like better.

It's a tough decision, but I think you should just get the lip on, and then see which color to powder coat, don't do it the other way. Also, just an FYI to make you feel good, I know for a fact I bought the very last lip they had in stock ;) (About 3 weeks back)

Damn you.. Bimmerworld kept telling me they were getting shipments in last Friday..nothing happened. Am I out of line to believe that I am going to be waiting a month or more? I just wanted it on before this carshow.. the cut up lip is a disgrace at a show. :az
