M-Perfomance Front Painted in Alpine White

Hey guys

I am expecting to receive my brand new 2014 AH3 M-Sport in Alpine White in less then a month. I am thinking about installing the M-Performance Package but I am having trouble deciding if I should leave the black and white contrast or have it all painted in Alpine White. Does anyone have theirs painted in all Alpine white? Please post some picture if you do!!!

Thanks in Advance!

When you say "M-Performance Package," what exactly are you referring to?

This thread has a lot of pic's posted on the subject your talking about. They also have a pic of a silver F30 with the MP Areo kit front splitter color matched.

Personally I think the matte black is a better choice. Matte tends not to show dings like gloss does and the splitter goes in a spot that's likely to get dinged. Also the color cast contrast of black on white looks clean, if I was gonna paint it I would go gloss black the match the trim.

This one is pretty cool too!
