Is this a good look?
I've seen a few people do this and i kinda like it, but i've never seen it on a red car.
Some photoshopped before and after pics, what do you guys think? |

Looks angry, but I agree with above. Needs something more to compliment the look, maybe front splitters or black side skirt decals, even a set of blackline tail lights

Ya, I'm thinking it may be too much. It works with darker cars like space grey where it's more subtle, not so in your face. But it just stands out too much against the red.

Tried to only black out the licenseplate gap?

Just my opinion, but if I spotted a BMW that looked like that, i'd want to walk it so badly. To each their own.

It would totally work... If you painted the rest of the car black too.

I think it works and would be unique. I'd go black on the mirrors to tie it in on the sides, and get some tint on the rear three windows. Then any sort of carbon or black front splitter and kidneys would bring it all together.

Id say it would look better on a white not red.
Get yourself blackline tails/ CF Diffuser and you should get a cleaner looking aggressive look

I actually think it looks pretty cool, goes pretty well with tented taillights/blacklines along with a black diffuser. Plasti-dip may be an idea to do this but I would also run a layer of glossifier, might blend in more than matted black.
