I wonder how it would look if the splitters were jet black on an alpine white car
The Carbon Fiber ACS Splitters would look sick as two tone offset. IMO.

I'm getting the Carbon Fiber ACS Splitters on my car sometime this week. <HOPEFULLY>

Did you hear that Vincent?

The ACS Splitters in my opinion look amazing, but every topic I read about it everyone says it only looks good on dark colored cars. Since My 535 is AW this is making me feel sketchy about getting them. If you have pics of the splitters on a light car plz post, AW especially. I've been unable to find any through searching the net. Thanks
It's a conspiracy, but I didn't say that!

no offence to hamann lip owners...

but i actually have both... hamann and ACS... yes both in my storeroom... lol

settled with ACS in the end.... the hamann doesnt go with the car's flow....

ACS might look a little goofy... but it flows with the bumper... whereas the hamann is like just slapping something at the bottom just to make it look lower

just my 2 cents

Everyone is intitled to their opinion. I think the ACS looks funny on the light cars but would look better if they are molded to the bumper.

better than hamann... on a black car at least...

maybe because my fave 5er (vegastrashed's ex) is using ACS too...
