My Ride: No mods
I got my roof vinyl flat/matte black done today to go with my theme of the car. In addition, I got another splitter (custom one from EuroRev (Hamann style rep)) painted flat/matte black.
The authentic Hamann splitter is getting repainted AW because quad_m's paint job sucks and the paint is chipping badly. I will never get a cheap paint job again. :thumbsdown: I rather pay a little more and know the job will be done right the first time.
For the roof, I left the shark fin white. Should I paint it black too?
PS: Calton (C's Bimmer)... where's my birthday gift? I'm still waiting...

I like the contrasting theme. Paint the authentic Hamann splitter black too. What would tie this all together are M5 mirrors since they're also two-toned.

If you are going to paint it get The EUROREV CF one. I am sure they can give you a good deal. I heard they have great customer service.
