Paint bodykit, or car?
 
I am getting a bodykit and wing for the car, and can either paint the kit silver (like the car), or repaint the car and kit black. I might like black, and am concerned that the silver will be hard to match, or may fade differently than the rest of the car.

Does anybody have experience with this kit?

hmm which kit did u get ? and also black "wut i have" is awesome but takes a lot of taking care of to do .

paint the kit.
it'd be alot cheaper and alot less hassle than painting the car.
silver doesnt get dirty as blk
blk is the worst, thats why i got rid of it ;-p

Black is sexy as long as you care for it. Silver is much easier to keep clean, and just have a good bodyshop paint it. they should be able to match and blend.

wow... that kit is cheap....

Plus, why do those pictures on the auction look so familiar? Wasn't there some dude on these forums trying to pawn something off using those same pictures?

hahahhah yea hoosteen i was gettin up on his business cause he was scamming

SiLVeRE8 02-21-2006 02:20 AM

yea there was a guy that posted the same pictures on this forum and claimed that he has it for sale. but it was a scam though... anyways this is a nice kit and i think you should keep it silver if you dont want it to get dirty easily.

hoosteen 02-21-2006 01:27 PM

i say keep the silver too

there's nothing better than OEM paint... well for the most part

lazi 02-21-2006 01:29 PM

yea keep it silver. keep it originallllllllllllllll

why not get the genuine Mazdaspeed kit.. it comes painted from factory, and fits like a glove.
Its alot more pricey... but looks real clean (IMO).

A lot of the people on the forum could care less if its the real thing. Alot of people like to take the cheap route, but thats perfectly fine..

don't repaint the whole car! Makes it a lot harder to resell the car later...

If i had the resources to repaint my car, I would definitely go with the navy blue that the 02-03 M3s come in. With an MS bodykit, would look soooo nice.
