Question JB or BSM E92 on Gunmetal VMR V710's?

I hate to make a thread like this, but I'm having a very hard time finding some pics of a black E92 on Gunmetal V710's.
I've searched the forum to no end and could only find a few pics.

Can anyone help me out?

Here's all I could find:

A rather poor quality and angle pic from VMR's website...




A photoshop done by brandon @ eas ^^
and this pic, which I think is Yinger's car.. in which case these are custom powdercoated, so not a great representation of the gunmetal color from VMR.



If anyone has a pic of a Jet Black or Black Sapphire E92 on Gunmetal VMR V710's, please share!

I really love the black on gunmetal look, which is strange because not a lot of guys have actually run that set up before. Regardless though it gets my approval, but then again, there is black on black which looks gorgeous as well:



Let me know if you have any other questions

Thanks for the help guys.

I can't believe there isn't an actual decent pic of this setup on an E92...

Haha.. Already in the plans, given the price is right of course. Brandon did my window trim. He's a cool guy, we actually had a lot in common. Even the same names.

But back on topic, no one is running this?

Very cool brandon! Thanks for the pic!
They look pretty dark. I wonder how close the colors are to real life. I definitely need to see them in person some time.

I did some quick photoshopping of the pic so it looks more like my car. I free-handed it so it didn't turn out that great... haha.

wow, looks way better with the black window trim and painted reflectors.
Gunmetal is hard to get an accurate photo of due to the way it changes in different light, it could either look really dark or really light.

By the way I painted my hubs and brakes after seeing your car!

Right on. They look so much more "finished" painted. I dunno how bad yours were, but mine were so rusted it really killed the look of the car.

I've seen pics of his car on here. They definately look awesome, but they're not the same color gunmetal that VMR offers. He had his powdercoated IIRC.

I guess the best I'm gonna get is brandons photoshopped pic.

F-cking hot. I had to wipe the drool off the keyboard first. Nothing nicer then a black car with dark rims. Almost exactly what i will be getting
