i would get the c/f, but that s just me, because it wasnt out when i bought my painted one awhile back. whatever goes w the flow i guess though

All depends on what kind of look you are going for. I'm kinda in the same boat and not sure what I would do. Go with CF if you're looking for a sporty look or plan on doing some more mods.

Hunter399 · 03-08-2007, 10:56 PM

CF!

montreal_bimmer · 03-08-2007, 11:17 PM

CF on SG would look sick IMO

let us know what you decide

BMW0 · 03-14-2007, 11:28 PM

I think you can get away with a carbon fiber spoiler if your car is a darker hue. CF spoiler on Alpine White looks a bit ridiculous.

Kiemyster · 03-21-2007, 11:43 AM

If the car is M Blue, then go for it, but u may want to consider the rear apron

cgnahc · 03-21-2007, 01:35 PM

CF on SG will look nice. you'll probably want other CF parts to complete the look tho.

MP1668 · 03-21-2007, 06:11 PM

The CF spolier look very clean on SG car , Y because I have one install on my car couple weeks ago ... go with the CF look , you won't regret it

ehhhwik · 03-21-2007, 06:26 PM

go with CF, it will make it look more sporty styling and painting will cost money and the paint might actually weigh more than the CF spoiler itself...

rgupta8 · 03-22-2007, 01:33 AM

MP1668 do you have any pics????

jbake · 03-22-2007, 01:35 AM

go with cf if you are going to really modify your car (kit, wheels etc.) if not go with the painted look

AK · 03-22-2007, 04:16 AM

CF on SG will look great!

fotios335i · 03-22-2007, 07:23 AM

I bought front carbon splitters and rear spoler (carbon) and traded the car in for an aw 335i sedan.cf will look perfect on sparkling graphite.I have my cf splitters incl template and betalink kit for sale.brand new.just throwing it out there. I think sg is the best color for cf peices

LTO · 03-22-2007, 10:31 AM

i think cf looks good on sg or black. any other color i would go painted.

DKolev · 03-22-2007, 11:10 AM
