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.

red...silver looks too overstated...

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...

Hmmm...decisions decisions.....

All red!

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.

I like the front middle portion in silver, but only on X5 that have all painted plastic trim. If I was you with that shade of red and unpainted bumpers, I would keep everything red.

do what I suggested D.R. simple fix if you decide other wise afterwards

RED!

I prefer all red.

Thanks everyone for your input. I have decided to go with all red and if I get bored with it, i'll just wrap it with vinyl. =) Thanks Phatt.

This post has got me thinking. I am probably going to paint the middle front of my aero kit titanium. If I'm not feeling it I can always just get it painted black.

Wondering if anyone with photoshop skills could show what a black truck would look like with the middle of the aero kit on the front only painted titanium silver.

Thanks! Your truck looks great. i'm liking the silver in the middle. Do you have any full frontal shots?

Beautiful ride you got there shashankmittal :2thumbs:

Looking good. Thanks shashankmittal :thumbup:

I noticed the front window and are above the truck is blacked out. Was someone standing out of the sun roof?

:thumbs: glad you decided. I'm sure it'll look great...

Yes :p:
