e70 Aero kit paint options - need public opinion
 
1 Attachment(s)
Got my aerokit, thinking of painting it to accentuate detail, though not sure what looks better.

Can you tell me which you think looks better? I would greatly appreciate your input. Better to get opinion on choice before painting, i think.

And forgive my abysmal Photoshop skills, take a step back from monitor, it will blur imperfections.

Just my 2c but it looks like you purchased a used aero kit off an alpine white and bolted it on to your sapphire. Not feeling it. That said, I do think the aero kit disappears a bit on the black x5s. Not sure what the answer is.

Thanks for feedback.
Just to clarify - this is is pic of some car i found on web with silver aero kit. Picture was hazy so i bumped contrast a bit for better viewing, but I guess it turned the silver into more white color.

My car still looks stock and kit is unattached, and primed. Before I mounted I wanted to know what people think of possible contrasts.

So the lighter color would be silver/aluminum and black tone would match my paint.

Thanks for your reply

Anyone else?

IMO, it needs to match the color of the vehicle.

I'd either color match it or paint it a nice silver for contrast.

+1. Maybe darken the silver a tad, if you go that route.

wrap it in 3M DI-NOC carbon fiber, dark gray....can always change it if you don't like it..

^that's not a bad idea! Those parts on a black X wrapped in carbon fiber would give it a pretty hot look, might be worth a shot. We wrapped the center section of one of our VWs hoods a while back to see how the Di-Noc lasted on exterior parts, it held up great to the Ohio weather (read not nice weather 90% of the time). If you want to check out pricing on the Di-Noc HERE is a link to the sheet sizes we currently have on the site.
