135i getting wrapped wednesday
Car goes in for wrap in a couple days.
Still debating what to do. Its all white now so maybe just the roof, spoiler, diffuser and side mirrors CF wrap? |

Not a fan of selectively wrapping certain panels with fake CF. I'd say wrap the whole car in some bold new sexy color (a-la bogart), but its your car, to each his own.

I agree, honestly I think wrapping the car is trying to make it something its not. Either go real cf or go home.

Itll look the same regardless of wether or not it's real cf or vinyl Besides. It's something quick and it will make it stand out a bit more just in time for this season. I never said real cf was never an option. But at this point vinyl wrap seems more fit to my needs. What if I don't really like the cf look, Atleast I didn't waste time on paint lol |

Real Carbon Fiber = a real M3. CF Vinyl = a 335i with an M badge on it. But I kinda feel the same way about normal wrapping. I see the pro's in it, but if you're not gonna change it up every few months or something, its just not as good as paint. And trust me, I know I am an obsessive, opinionated nut bag |

CF vinyl is pretty lame because it means you want to look like you have light weight parts, but the truth is you can't afford them.
Vinyl instead of paint though is a good option.

I don't think your above statement is totally true man. Now I'd say if you wrap a spoiler or a lip in cf then yes that's going cheap compaired to if you just bought the real thing. But as far I as a roof goes is there even a company that makes a real cf overlay to fit the one series roof? I haven't seen one. So if you wanted that look for your roof then wrap is pretty much the only way to go unless you had someone custom fabricate a sheet to fit which would be very expensive I'm sure and most wouldn't want to spend that even if you can afford it. All I'm saying is (for the roof anyway) it can't be considered looking like you're trying to have something you can't afford if no one makes a real cf replacement. And some people care nothing about functionality. He may strictly like the cf look and care less about what it weighs. If that's the case he would probobly not care if someone thought he's just trying to pretend he has light weight parts he can't afford if all he wanted was that look. So if this is your opinion with cf wrap does that mean that everyone who buys replicas of forged or 3 piece wheels are trying to look like they can afford something they can't? I have forged wheels an I bought them strictly for the style they were. I could care less that they were forged. Had I found a set similar to them that weren't that were offered in the right offset Ida bought them instead but I couldn't. Point im trying to make is if a persons doing something for looks an functionally dosent matter then they probobly aren't thinking man I hope people think this is real an I look like I'm a baller lol. |
