Question Aerokit Color Scheme?

Hey Guys and Gals,

My 35D will be showing up next week and in preparation for the arrival I purchased the AeroKit. I wanted to get your opinions. Should I paint it all Vermillion Red or leave the middle part of the kit painted silver to match the front air duct? I’ve attached a pdf file. I'm leaning more towards the silver.

Thanks,

DaRip

don't like the silver middle on a red unless it's way more subtle (dark) than that. Full red w/ aero looks great anyway, imo.

I think the silver looks good on the front piece but not on the back. However, it's a BMW and I would just paint the thing all red. No need to overstate an already nice truck.

All red to match vehicle. Nice, clean, impressive.

I just bought the kit as well for my Space Grey Met. having trouble finding a reasonably priced paint shop though.

Can't wait to get it on the X!

All red, but either way, you will never go wrong...

Silver in front but all red in back. The front looks subtle enough to match grill. The back stands out and looks out of place.

How about if the you painted just the raised sections in the middle pieces silver?? try photchopping that, may just be subtle enough.
