my M5tech kit finally arrived from umnitza. yeah! just drop it off at the body shop this afternoon. here is the 'before' piture.

got the full kit along with a front lip, but I can't decide what color to paint the lip.

1. body color (amethyst grey)... may have to worry about cracks and chip in paint in the long run.

2. leave it unpainted (matte black). looks sportier but kinda unfinished.

3. wrap it in 3M carbon fiber vinyl to match my roof...

what do you guys think

I like body color matched. Call me old fashion. Anyhow, what's up, my fellow Amethyst Gray brotha!? Glad to see another one of us in here.

Don't do CF unless you have a bunch of other really sporty things on your car. It won't look right imo. Keep it classy but sporty. Your car is a gorgeous color with lots of nice, black accents. Don't ruin it with CF stuff.
