Got my wheels painted in black
Today I got my OEM wheels painted in semi gloss black, also painted the window aluminum trim and front grill rings
Here a couple of poor iPhone pics taken on the body shop before delivery, check out the updated pics below this thread. Last edited by motex; 12-23-2011 at 12:12 PM.. Reason: Updating info |

How much does something like this cost? I'm thinking about getting mine painted too…

Different strokes for different folks...
For me, this just looks a little plain compared to a stock Monte Carlo Blue but I guess some are really into this all black look.

Black Saffire Metallic shines brilliantly under sun light! Very nice touches you've made. Are your wheels flat black or semi gloss?

thanks, I would love to change the exhaust tips to carbon look, like the Akrapovic's, and one thing I notice after going all-black is that the "M" badges located in the front fenders and the brake rotors are the "highlights" of the car since they still silver color, same for the front bumper markers

If you check out the drivetrain modification section in this forum, you will definitley find pics of the X6M with the carbon fiber quadruple exhaust tips and of course, fully modded exhaust systems as well.

Motex, I have written messages ( eg on your profile ) commending the original look ( before you changed it ) of your X6M. I loved the chrome
door trim, the alloy wheels. What went wrong? I hate the new look! You've blackened everything except the headlights. There's no contrast. The car has become a shadow. The brilliance has gone. |
