:thumbup:It does look good bro, I stand corrected. Should have came that way from the factory. That second pic threw me off for a second there, the pixelation in the picture made it look like a diecast model.

Thanks, Im getting the 20" wheels this coming week, style 214 with Toyo Proxes ST, I will post pics as soon as I have all the party installed

By the way nice car you have too !

Looks great!!

I agree with the bigger wheels, maybe in black!?

Can you put a clear coat over the decal? Shiny carbon fiber (M3 / M6) looks much nicer.

With out clear coat.

If you put two coats of clear the carbon fiber pattern doesn't show any more.

I see a brush on the table. Did you brush the clearcoat, or spray it?

Bump for wanting to know how you applied the clearcoat. Also, how well does that stuff stand up to heat? I've been toying w/ the idea of covering my bike fairing instead of replacing them. Might be overkill though.

Just stumbled on this thread. The carbon on the white X6 looks SWEEEEET!!!
