Help me decide which color

nickyreno · 04-03-2016, 02:50 AM

I'm getting my car tinted on Tuesday. 20% 3M ceramic all around (I'll also do 50% on the windshield once I replace it). I'm also having the roof and mirror caps wrapped gloss black while I'm there.

Question is: I have an M Performance spoiler however I'm unsure if I want to wrap it in gloss black or wrap it in carbon fibre. I was planning on getting the rear diffuser and the M Performance front lip wrapped in carbon fibre once they arrive.

BTW car is Alpine White

My vote is as always all gloss black or all carbon but as you're talking about wrapping in carbon the gloss black definately gets my vote

Think the carbon wrap will look cheap?

imo glossy black looks better than carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is only better because of reduced weight, but because you're doing wrap, I would do glossy black for sure.

Also, black and white go great together.

Where's the option for do it properly and get them painted?

+1. I decided I like real carbon fiber though.

In "other, describe below"

It's a dd, I need something that is cheap to repair/replace after a hard Tahoe winter. Others I would definitely be doing OEM Jet black or space grey metallic on all of it
