New and Question

Hey guys,

I got a 2013 335is and Im in the weston and sunrise area, if there are ever any meet ups i'd love to go.

Here is the car:







The Question that i have is regarding a few mods, I already Plastidipped the emblems and they look awesome, i had trouble doing the painted reflectors that i bought and would like to get the M3 carbon fiber lip spoiler that i have installed. Also,i'd like to get an input of whether painted the calipers red would make the car look good?

What are some good body shops around my area that would do a great job with these things?

Welcome.

Pretty large crowd in south florida...they should be swinging in shortly.

Painted calipers are cool...should be some threads around here with pics. As for the painted reflecters - I'd go with actual paint vs plastidip. Plastidip will have a rough finish and look odd.

Great looking car, for me I don't like painted calipers. It makes the car look cheap IMO.

Unless they are black that does not show the brake dust and dirt like yellow, blue, or red would.

I have painted calipers and like 'em - obviously, a personal choice.
