More CF Spoiler Pictures on AW

denial · 05-17-2008, 09:10 PM

Here's a quick and dirty shoot of "more completed pictures" I promised from my DYI thread. If I ever get around to doing a real shoot I'll post up. These will have to do for now... :biggrin:

very nice pics denial and thanks for the DIY!! i have everything ready to go, oh except for the car but that'll fix itself in a couple of weeks. :biggrin:

Great pics...any from further away. I'm still up in the air. I might have to see it in person before I pull the trigger...much like the car itself.

+1 on the pics from far away--it looks good up close in these pics. :biggrin:

Sorry guys, no pictures further away on hand. That would require a "proper" shoot as opposed to a "quick and dirty", complete with planned out background, lighting, setting, and everything else...

That and I didn't feel like moving my car when I took the pictures. But all in due time....:wink:

Honestly though, the spoiler's really a subtle addition. I found myself having a tendency to shoot pictures of it closer and closer. From far away, especially since it's of a black color, it really doesn't look like much as all the lines fade into one another. I tried to give you guys an idea of the actual shape of the spoiler, how it sits atop the already lipped trunk, and how it hangs off the rear side.

Did you change the color of your rear diffuser? It looks darker. IMO I wish it matched the shadowline trim.

BMW Dreamer · 05-18-2008, 05:39 AM

Very nice, could you get pic's at a distance? To see the entire car.

MastaMind · 05-18-2008, 09:29 AM

I would definitely like to see some more pics, especially from a greater distance.

I'm getting AW as well, and I can't decide if I like the CF spoiler or not.

No, the rear diffuser is still that ugly ass gray color. I HATE the color of the rear diffuser. I almost want to take it off to get it painted gloss black just as you said vs. just sucking it up and buying that sweet sweet CF rear diffuser...

Man. Everyone wants pictures from afar. I'll possibly do it sometime this week. Just depends on if I can think of a good location to take pictures of the car/getting a buddy to help with it.

on teh money!

PA135i · 05-18-2008, 01:15 PM

Yeah, nice shots but take some shots from a distance.

coco_m3 · 05-18-2008, 04:33 PM

+1 for distance shots.

Numb3rs · 05-20-2008, 11:18 AM

Those CF pieces are OEM BMW..? All the other I have seen have a lighter weave of CF fabric. Perhaps it's just the lighting. Can you take a pic of your fin, from the car door looking back at the spoiler, it in direct sunlight...?
