cosmetic advice?
 
so i will shortly be fixing up a wreck that i had with my car, and i was wondering if u guys could help me out on some pieces to mod on the car. I was looking into an M3 front end bumper, a carbon fiber hood (worth the trouble?), some white chrome wheels, saw a pair of them the other day on a white BMW and omg it looked sexy as hell, and then possible a spoiler, but nothing big at all on the spoiler, dont want it looking ricey. Anyone know where to get these pieces, or advice on getting them?

What do you mean by "white chrome"?

ATF 06-08-2007 02:33 AM

I think he just means standard chrome, as opposed to like, gun metal. Also you're going to have to define ricey for us, because we all have our own definition :) Some of those parts you can get from other people here on this forum or on bf.c otherwise do a search for "useful websites" on here and it should pop up vendors that You might be interested in

Aaaahhh... that makes sense... regular chrome rather than gunmetal.

Well, heck, I've got some chrome wheels that I could be persuaded to sell. Check my gallery and PM me if you're interested.

OOooohhhh, OK. That doesn't look like "chrome" at all. It looks more like a "brushed" aluminum finish.

You can find a lot of wheel options at Tire Rack

Yes... don't waste time looking for an OEM M-Tech spoiler, they're very rare.

Um... no. But I suppose it depends on what you consider "white." Go to my photo gallery here and you will see "actual chrome" wheels. Or, like I suggested before, go to the Tire Rack site and you'll get to check out a wide variety of finishes. That's the easiest way to learn about different wheel finishes and what they're called.

Oops... I just noticed that the photos of my wheels were taken in very different lighting conditions, resulting in them being different colors. This is the most realistic one.

k, thanks much road
