Opinions on photoshopped mods.. (carbon fiber stuff..)

[E36DJ]

I'm just throwing around some ideas, the pics below are with the new UUC spoiler and the ReuterMotorsport front spoiler.




I'm not really a fan of the hood (granted it's not real.. just a pattern overlay in photoshop) but I don't think the colors go well with estoril.

ehh shit I added lighting effects on the front lip in the second picture.. too lazy to do it on the first pic though so use your imagination..

yea i aint a fan of the hood either, the spoiler might look good, i cant tell, but that lips lookin good, does it replace your lip as oppose to being an add on

Does somebady make a carbon fiber wing like the stock one?

nope but the one I'm getting will replace the stock lip. I hate the layered-look that some of these splitters have, the front of your car ends up having like 7 different pieces from top to bottom - looks like ass.

Don't do the wing, it'll have that 'CMT wannabe' look...

Why not do a Low LTW wing(or even a CF one, if you're so stuck on it) with a LTW splitter.

No offence but, CMT isn't the only one with an estoril blue M3 coupe on DTM so, whatever I choose to do to my car has nothing to do with his car. I didn't even know he had that wing.
The LTW wing looks like crap IMHP, it has no style-cues at all, it's just.. straight vertical sides, straight horizontal middle. OEM one looks better.

LTW splitter would be nice but I don't have $1400 for a piece of CF that 2" tall and a couple feet wide.

I'm thinking about the Kerscher lip again if I can find anyone to import it.

where can i look at an actual pic of the ReuterMotorsport front lip?

[BavBrwlr]

damn that looks nice, if you can find it, let me know, im interested, looks very functional too

the lip looks good

you could get the hood and have it lightly painted pearl blue. It would still show the weave up close but it would look blue.

Probably a good idea, same with the wing and splitter? That would be unusual and pretty hot.

Which would look better? The CF reutermotorsport (or reiger, they are the same concept) or the kerscher lip (painted estoril.)

Dado, does the reiger splitter come with those support posts in the front? (Do you have any "spares" for sale? )

Only pic of the reuterMS lip that I've seen..

Just noticed how the eyelids look molded to the front grill body panel, probably just the poor picture quality - but that would look REALLY clean. You'd have to take that body piece off to get to the headlights (which seems to be a weekly thing for me) so that might suck. I'm just looking for stuff that most people aren't thinking of. This needs to be done before the Ocean City car/truck show. I'm trying to win SOMETHING at that show, everything was rice and there were maybe 2 euro cars there, so the class should be very easy (and it would be a first win. )

Let me know if anyone has ideas.

What is it with people wanting to be carbon fiber queens?

And CMT does NOT have that wing. He has an authentic HARTGE wing with the adjustable CF lip.

So go on with your bad self and get that UUC knockoff.

thats so JDM y0

I saw an estoril m3 with a cf hood. it really didnt look that bad in person.
