Question need help Chameleon paint

ok guys i need help on something. i have a 95 m3 and its dacra yellow. it just when in the shop for a s/c install. but looking at it i was wondering how can i make my car more custom.

i checked this website they sell that color changing crystals for paint.

http://www.alsacorp.com/SpectraFX%20Video.html

what i thought about doing is painting the shinny metal around grill. on wheels the inside is powder black but the rim is silver. i thought about doing the out side rim and the side mirrors as well as some highlights in the car " stick shift knob i dont know what evers"

but i was trying to get a color change from yellow to red since my car is dacar yellow.

now in you honest opinon is this too goddy or ricey or do you think i can pull this off and make it look realy cool and unique.

its expensive so i would like your imput plz. thanx

I think you mean your car is Dakar yellow, and in my opinion i would never change the color of the car.

yes im sorry i cant spell worth S#@t. but i dont plan on painting the whole car. one that is alot of money second i like the yellow i was just thinking if by adding some highlights by only painting a few things might make it look more exotic or custom.

what exactly would you paint to give it that "exotic look"?

"what exactly would you paint to give it that "exotic look"? "

well im my way of thinking, i like the color fazing paint. i dont know of very many people that would put up the dough to use this expensive paint on their car.

i like the look of my car, but i want it to have something no one else has.

just looking at the paint you know its expensive. and by adding it to a few things on my car, i think would realy finnish it off.

thats what i mean by exotic.

I do not think that a car would look too good with different colors... Would need some Photoshop Pics...

@Scorp965
I love your MiniGolf Game...

45 in the second attempt

Can I download it somewhere?

ti depends what you want it to look like...if you want the car to turn heads and look "bling", then do it. it you want it to look like a sleeper or give it a custom look than do that. most people on these forums are on here because they like the bmw look and are really against making cars deviate from that look or making bmws look rice. i personally think you should do what you want to do and make your car into the image you want it to portray. i personally dont like all the hastle custom paint entails. i had custom paint on my old car and it wasnt worth the hastle. good luck

thanx bmwdt.

i realy dont know what it would look like. im not the person that puts bodykits and neon lights and stupid decals and other rice shit on my car. i just spent $7k on modifing the engine. i have always belived you make it fast then make it look sick modo.

i just love it when ppl say " oh man did you see his car, how did he do that, man that looks sick, i wana do that to my car."

im just testing the waters with this idea is all. but thank you all that posted.
