Monaco Blue + CF CSL trunk. Also poll to help out Spiike

spiike32 · 11-05-2011, 11:54 PM

A couple people asked for some follow up on what the CSL trunk looks like in Monaco blue. So here you go. It looks great in person.

Should I do shadowline trim?

Mr_PharmD · 11-06-2011, 12:19 AM

very nice indeed.

Any pix of the rear shot...the LCI tails are growing on me.

I would do the shadow trim since the brush stands out too much.

335_MI6 · 11-06-2011, 12:35 AM

very nice.... i also have a monaco blue keep the silver trim, i had it wrapped for 10 mins after i saw it i told the guy to take it off

i have a picture it looks worse in the picture but it still looked bad

spiike32 · 11-06-2011, 12:43 AM

335iMI6, did you use matte or gloss black?

I was inspired by ChrisE92's car since he was COTM... but not sure if I can pull it off like his car.

Mr PharmD, I'll try to take some directly from the rear shots. The ones that I have are too dark. Prelci looks very dated to me now that I have LCI tails, and these also look amazing at night.

I think you should be thinking about dropping it first. And as for your window trim if you black it out you should also black out your grills too. It'll flow better IMHO.

Addicted2Boost · 11-06-2011, 02:31 AM

nice rear!

edirtaynine · 11-06-2011, 03:48 AM

definitely do shadowline. i have gloss black and it looks way better than the chrome. changes the whole look of the car from the side profile.

Yep! I have KW v1's sitting in my garage. They go in next week.

eaglesfan83 · 11-06-2011, 08:48 AM

looks great! +1 for Shadowline trim but i have never liked the silver trim.

spiike32 · 11-06-2011, 02:55 PM

Would you guys consider the car murdered out if I did black grills and shadow trim?

T!m3 · 11-06-2011, 03:59 PM

"""Should I do shadowline trim?""""

Sure you do!!

I used matte because my grills are matte black, if you didnt have tint on then i would of said go for it

JaysBlueE92 · 11-07-2011, 09:28 AM

looks great..I would definintely do shadowline trim

datbimmerdoe · 11-07-2011, 04:00 PM

shadowline as well as gloss black grills

n no, ur car won't be murder'd out w/ black grills, it'll be monaco'd out

BAL278 · 11-07-2011, 07:15 PM

Shadowline trim will look good

ibeclueless · 11-07-2011, 07:34 PM

definitely do it

spiike32 · 11-07-2011, 11:11 PM

Just finished coding the car for lci tails. Man that was easy, like a 20 min job going slow. I definitely recommend lci tails seeing how easy the coding was (for someone tech savvy).

any pics? Im debating putting on the LCI tails next week

dxb335d · 11-10-2011, 09:09 AM

I had a monaco blue 335, with shadowline trim.. looks MUCH nicer than chrome

asuresh8 · 11-10-2011, 09:14 AM

Definitely do shadow line trim, but get it painted instead of wrapping. It looks much cleaner that way.

dmode · 11-10-2011, 10:30 AM

Fellow Monaco blue e92 owner here. I am keeping my chrome trim for now as I like the contrast with the dark wheels. Posted some pictures here:
