Got some new Nitto 555's on my humble 323Ci for the summer and did up the CSL's matte black....I'm lovin it. check it out:









one more........





*EDIT* H&R Race are in the mail before anyone feels the need.....:idea:

 

too much black i would of left the rear tail lights untinted ... red stripe around the wheels would look sweet

 

Looks nice-

I would definately leave the stock tails though. Or at least dump the clears.

Either way it does look pretty menacing!

 

too much black, what mirrors are those? look like the older M3s

 

It's as if someone cut out a perfect bmw shape out of the photo.

 

Heck I like it... but yeah ditch the clear tails.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The mirrors are E36 M3 mirrors, but I think the stock ones may be going back on.....not sure yet. I'll post more proper pics after the Race Springs get installed. The clear part of the tails will be getting tinted as well, just not as dark as the red parts did

 

I'm not feelin' it... kind of looks like an unmarked cop car. I've noticed that a lot of the Audi guys are going for the same look.

Than again... maybe I'm just getting to be an old fart...

 

looks like ****
untint the rear lights
and lower the car...

 

Thanks for putting it politely

 

i have never been a fan of the ghetto black look. i also generally dont like black wheels. but as someone else said, it looks menacing. and if that is what you were going for, then you succeeded.

 

The tail lights kill the car for me. All black is one of my favorite things, but that's just too much. Other than that, though, looks awesome!

 

wow that is a moving tint violation waiting to be owned

 

Not so much stealth bomber....as Men In Black. If you're going for the government agent look, you've succeeded.

Drop it, put some M5/E46 M3 mirrors on, and at LEAST do the tint lighter on the rear taillights. I have smoke lamin-x on my car also (Black on black with 20% tint...silver wheels) - it looks good, but my tint is lighter so it looks like
almost-black-red.

Like the wheels though. Not so sure on the matte, but it's your party.

 

Looks good! Like others have said and even you said it is going to happen soon - darken the clears a touch.
