I am in the process of restoring my 94 325IC. I am putting M3 Side Skirts, Front and Rear M3 bumpers and M3 door molding. MY question is do I paint the door/bumper/front and rear air dam / valiance Red like the car or leave it black. i am putting a set of 19 chrome rims and the black grill!!!!!!!:help:help

it really depends on the color of your car. the black contrast can look really sweet with some colors. it can also look more modern, and in some cases worse with everything color coded.

If your car is red, keep them black.

Case closed!

Oh and all the parts you mention aren't M3, but M-tech(nik) parts. ;)

19" chrome wheels are gross. you should think about saving your money and getting a ride that will be worth more than you spend on your wheels. :rolleyes

i painted my plastic moldings black with some spraypaint formulated for being applied onto plastic. they dont look painted, they just look like new plastic all the time. no dullness or fading.

My car is red and had painted moldings. I think my car looks as good as mcabrios car

I didn't think I would like painted moldings, but the first pics I saw was an all white car, and it looked super clean.

Personally, I like the contrast and how it breaks up some of the lines of the car.

i have a black car with painted m3-mouldings and painted door handles. Just had it done a week ago. It looks sooooo much better. Not one person told me it was a waste of money!
I would do it again, it certainly is worth the trouble

Don't want to sound like Mr. Obvious, but obviously it will look good on a black car, since on a black car, all these black parts look grey actually and the contrast is non-existend in the 1st place.

Whole different story for colors like Red, Dakar, etc.

Hey I am not worried about the $$$. This was a car that I bought new and have always liked. So as far as geting a car that will be worth more than the wheels I think if you ever do any thing to a car you will never see the increase in value. But then again that is not the reason we put stuff on cars!!:buttrock

i think you missed my point, but its cool.
