Hey guys,

As some of you already know, I picked up a set of OEM BMW Perf. style 313s (19) a few weeks ago for my e90 335i Msport LCI. I thought I'd be happy with just those and call it a day...lol. Well, that didn't last very long and now I want to complete the Performance Line transformation...at least the exterior and exhaust.

Car: e90 335i Msport (6 speed manual) LCI / AW

Currently: BMW stage 1 PPK, Perf. style 313s (19), and Perf. gloss grills

Ordered: Perf. side skirts, rear diffuser and performance exhaust.

I actually prefer the Msport front so not ordering the perf. front bumper.

The only thing I am not 100% about is to whether to paint the rear diffuser piece AW as shown in the picture below, or just leave it black?!?!? Opinions?

Sorry for the little teaser...will update thread as parts arrive and get installed.



For those who haven't seen the perf. side skirts (the < 1% of you ), see below:

I say paint the diffuser white like the pic. Not as much E90's with that look.

Yeah. I am leaning towards getting it painted.

I would get it painted unless you get the performance spoiler as well. If that were the case I'd match it with a cf diffuser.

I have the performance side skirts on mine, love them.

Get it painted. The Performance E90 LCI is gorgeous. I agree though, the performance front bumper isn't my favorite.

313s, great choice.

IMO you should DEFINITELY paint the diffuser-it'll look sickkkkkk
btw if you havent already done perf. mods for your interior, then i suggest getting perf. pedals/shifter/e-brake handle

keep us posted!

Thanks Alen. Man u making me spend more $$$. Lol. Right now, I am cool with the perforated shift knob and ebrake as they match my perforated steering wheel. Performance pedals are a nice touch though. Definitely consider down the line.

Will definitely keep u guys posted. I was emailed today that parts should arrive by Monday or Tuesday next week
Just have to decide who to go with for a great paint match. Suggestions?

Thanks for the feedbacks fellas. U have convinced me to paint the diffuser. Do u guys recommend taking off my gas cap for color match with AW? Is that necessary?

Agreed about matching darker spoiler. But I am not quite feeling that spoiler for some reason.

Would love to see your car with the Perf side skirts. Pics?

Nice! I really like them because they are more distinctive and unique versus the msport ones.

[JAL0988]

I'd say leave it black depending on what color your car is

Edit: Just saw that you have an AW so definitely leave it black. It contrasts so well.

Yea, I agree, especially for mine since it's black. It makes it distinct but subtle at the same time. BTW, you can check out how an msport front with the pref sides look in my first pic, since that's what your going for as well.

Thanks to a couple of fellas on the forum, I found this video again. Seeing this vid makes me even more anxious to get this transformation done....

If you haven't seen it, enjoy....

Here's another argument for painting the rear diffuser (courtesy of JZ's always stunning photography):

Love the performance side skirts. Have them on mine also. There are very, very few of them around from what I have seen in my AO.
