My Ride: 05 530i M Sport Sedan / Silver Grey
Hi guys,
I have just been having a slack Friday arvo and have been doing unproductive things like watching you tube video's and checking out car forum's and i have noticed that blacking out nearly every part of a car (E60's included) seems to be incredibly popular these days. I dont get it because IMO it detracts from the beauty of the car, the lines become blurred and the form is lost. You see the most beautiful wheels blacked out, lips and all so you are hard pressed to idenitfy even the wheel pattern, in fact they just seem to look like one big tyre.
Is it driven by a boy hood dream of driving KIT from Knight Rider........
PS This is not intended to upset anyone and yes i know it is simply a matter of opinion however i thought i would ask for a few

Plus...you would think that once you had a car that could talk (KIT), that it would be easier to teach the same kind of car to talk...for the new movie. I mean now they have to teach a Ford to talk....good luck with that!

I love the look of a "blacked out" BMW...
If it is done right there is nothing better IMO...
There are some very classy looking stealth machines on this board... I especially like ImSortOfABigDeal's... Nice rims, sick spoiler...

Yeah i agree "blacked out" isn't for everyone, i think it looks good if done right... but to each his own...
