i bought a high rise ltw replica and I'm having it color matched estoril blue. Im having second thoughts on whether it will look rice or not.... What do you think? Heres a photoshop that i had chopped before i bought the wing...

I had the line on the top of the riser smoothed out so that the wing is officially a 2 piece spoiler

obviously far from done, but you can see where i smoothed over the holes for attaching the riser to the top piece

are there two different wings, a LTW Wing and a High Rise LTW Wing?

There are Low Rise and High Rise wings. The High Rise = Low Rise + "Risers" in between the flat piece and actual wing

on my 318i with sport springs and koseis it'd look like rice but on your estoril m3 with that drop and wheels, it looks sechs

with the right mods (which you have) I think it will look perfect.

it's not doing it for me...kinda suby looking, but odd with the short trunk. maybe if it angled back a bit more, don't know, I think the reg ltw wing looks okay.

its been primered, and i had the non functional holes (where top 2 pieces are held by bolts) smoothed over!

Looks good. A nice front lip will really compliment it too.

Here's mine (black roof coming soon!):

it actually doesnt really hinder it that much, its high enough that you can see through the wing for the most part

Rice.
I really don't like the dual layer wings all that much, so even low rise= rice for me.
Please don't flame me for that, he asked for opinions, so I gave him mine and justified it.

It's not a double stack, and it's not obnoxiously high.

Not rice at all. Just a nice mod. Enjoy the downforce.
