I agree with other posters that this shit is lame but it's your car. Sounds like your 335 would have made into the fake badges thread. Bravo

ya know it might have. But for me it was a reminder of goals. also m colors isn't the same thing as an m3 badge. m colors are on everything from an umbrella to my new comp package's seatbelts I don't have some illusion that these objects are m cars.

let it be a lesson to you guys... no reason to be that judgemental... it's not posing... I knew it wasn't an m and didn't expect anyone to think it was due to some small stripes.

I have a grey F80 and put the colored mine. I think it looks great on the dark car.

If I'm gay it's news to me with a wife and three kids!

I'm not sure which is "gayer" - these stripes on an ///M car, or when posers add them to their wannabe ///M's

But my Vote would be 2 slats/color.

+1

I'm just messing with you. It's your ride. We all have different tastes and that's a good thing.

Don't get me started on the fast and furious ZCP seat belts

Enjoy your car

IDBGOD · 12-05-2017, 06:09 PM

+1 to the majority opinion.

It can look decent on the right color option, depending on your stance.

Pass for me, but it's your car. I've seen far more ridiculous cars on here so to each their own.

I think the slats (and all the other exterior shit) is gross as fuck, but then I just got this soooo ....

RogueAI · 12-09-2017, 09:15 PM

I'm at a loss to understand why it's seen as fake badging if it's not an M car but in the same breath a lot of you are saying it shouldn't be on an M car. Make your mind up. Hell of a lot of snobbery when it comes to M cars around these parts. Insecure much

OP, do it if you like them. I had them on my 328 and thought they looked great as did most people. A little splash of colour looks good. I've contemplated doing on my M3 but not sure if I want to keep it stealth or add some colour yet.

I forgive you because that interior color is sweet. All the gaudy exterior shit belongs on real Honda civics not ///M cars

It's a function of your psychology: are you primarily projecting outward or inward? Anybody that buys an ///M car is a liar if they say "I don't care what others think"; first we all do, and second us ///M people are more damaged that way than others ... however within our damaged subset (i.e., post-///M car acquisition), what's the next step? Interior shit for you to see or exterior shit for others to see?

looks great.

Arcades · 12-12-2017, 11:11 PM

I actually saw the puddle lights in person on GotM car and I didn't mind it.

Gave it some weird flavor and not just bright lights when you open the door but I have a personal preference for less is better when it comes to modding. Although I found it oddly funny BMW San Francisco put it on a car hehe. That is probably why I'll end up getting the M4/M3CS Front Lip instead of my original M Perf CF Splitter + PSM combo.

I really prefer my less is more approach.

I'd be offended if Joey wasn't awesome, and I didn't own a pair of BMW Pumas, BMW Baseball CAp, and BMW hoodie

Sadly, only Individual Manufaktur AFAIK.

Someone checked into just buying the blank, but it wasn't available.

CoolBreeze · 01-08-2018, 12:14 AM

I think the pre-painted grilles from IND are the way to go. I think the stripes look good. Considering all the other cosmetic modifications that M owners indulge in, it's funny that this one issue gets some people so worked up.

mrmoua2u · 01-11-2018, 01:11 PM

Reminds me back in the 90's when the import scene was really growing...the northern Cali cars, most would always have stripes and SoCal cars did not. Everyone got their own taste, but to me they look like crap. Like there isn't enough M or stripes on the car already.
