Looks good.

Thinking to do the same on mine as it is the only m performance part gloss and the rest are matte. I will try to wrap it or use plastic dip. Don't know, or leave it like that.

Just buy matte ones, so cheap!

I'd paint your splitter same as mine, looks so much better!

I want that black strip below the doors. What is it called? Where can I get it? The decal is sold separately?

Do you have a better picture of the front to see how it looks. I do like how the m performance comes.

I'm also thinking to paint matte black the trunk spoiler. I got it before the other matte M performance parts. Or buy another to really match the matte black from non painted mp parts.

Here you go, plus a photo of the M3 style spoiler.

Not a fan of the side decals. Makes a very nice car seem a bit cheap/tacky.

Looks good! I was debating between the matte and the gloss, but I decided to go with gloss black on the front lip, kidney grills, and rear diffuser to match the gloss Shadowline trim package.

Try it, if you don't like it you can just peel it off. That's the beauty of it!

Personally id go gloss black mirror covers and have a ring of matt at the bottom and gloss around the middle to match the window trim.

Id keep the matching spoiler.
