Help a new owner with some cosmetic mods?
I just bought a 435i coupe XDrive m sport was thinking about some exterior mods
Anyone can help me out with recommendation of nice additions? I was thinking 1. carbon fiber lip 2. CF spoiler (m4 style?i think these fit?) 3. Color matched reflectors 4. CF mirror covers I have read a million posts and looked at websites but who knows what’s actually great in person? Can anyone tell me if these are decent mods and who their personal recommendations are for good stuff is? Would like not to break the bank on these cosmetic upgrades. What else can be a nice enhancement I could be adding that I’m missing? Last edited by DrEvil1; 07-21-2018 at 04:38 PM.. |

Suggest you drive her for a month or two before you mod...you may find you don't want them. In any case. Congrats!! Super beautiful machine...many happy miles.

Paint matched front lip for me looks better and when it does get scraped up you can always repaint with a detail gun.
CF spoiler, I got one custom made from NorthWestCarbon on instagram. (Great guy and makes amazing products for great price) CF Diffuser Gloss Black roof if thats your taste. Car looks great as it is so not a crazy amount that needs to be done!

Keep it simple. Lowering and spacers or aftermarket wheels, and color matched reflectors will really clean it up.
I'm not a fan of carbon fiber accents. The mirrors look way too random to me. Stick with black lower valences (lip, diffuser) and color matched trunk lip if you go that route. |

Nice color! Just picked up a 428i in that same color! Haha. My only plans are black wheels, CF lip, CF trunk spoiler, 20% tint and CF diffuser.

CF anything can only be detected from a few feet away. Not worth the cost. Try black paint.

Your car looks great without any cosmetic modifications. Great color, very sharp. Echoing earlier comment about CF lip: drive for a couple months first to see how local roads and entry / exit ramps treat your front end.

I did the LED door sills and brought after market projector door puddle lights off amazon. They were like $12 a pair and I was told they were crap and would fade over time but that has not happened to me. DIY install was pretty easy.

Carbon fiber on grey is a good choice. Also consider a carbon fiber diffuser and side skirt lip possibly? I get most of my parts from either vendors on here or on eBay. Fitment is almost always near perfect.
Also, don't worry so much about what other people think or prefer. At the end of the day, it's your car and you are allowed to do whatever makes you happy. If you see a part that you like, go for it!
