I wrapped the sport line's bumper whisker

I wrapped one of the sport line's bumper whisker in carbon fiber to see what it would look like and if I would like the look with the Black Sapphire Metallic paint, what do you think?

Way better than stock chrome... I don't think you need real carbon for these, they'll take a beating from rock chips anyways and it'll hurt if it chips real cf, just rewrap every 2-3 years if needed. Honestly, they look great wrapped.

Put a BSM OEM MSport Bumper on it and no need for the fake CF whiskers. In fact someone is selling one in classifieds

For some reason, I was under the impression that the sport line whiskers are black. I thought that only the luxury line had chrome whiskers

Did this change since I bought my 2014?

That looks great! I agree much better than stock brushed aluminum/chrome.

If you have some wrap left see try covering the headlight eyelids...just to see if that would complete the darkened look of the front.

Maybe?

And clean off that wax residue!

It's better than putting a giant M3 logo on a 328 though, especially on the windshield. Just wanted to darken the whisker without buying 100 dollar spray painted ones
