Just my .02: I like gloss black with any red, and if there's any gloss black, every black should be glossy. There's another option for the front grill ( not kidneys), paint them it color matched Imola. My e30 had a color matched grill, I think it looked nice and you don't see it often. Im going to try to attach a picture below for reference.

Hmmm, wrong thread Ryan, it's been a long time I know :biggrin thanks for the feedback. I think the flat over gloss will provide a bit more contrast over gloss in my opinion but since I will be doing the trim work myself I am not stuck with anything so I can change it up if I change my mind.Quote:

My car is not Estoril anymore. Been driving it in the canyons of salt, mud, snow, and ice. She's got a nice gradient on her while she sleeps in the parking lot at 12 degrees F. She looks like a Star Wars racer. That's how I drove her from Vancouver to Whistler. It was fun. LOL
Be careful Trevor!! Some idiot will come by and think how cool it will be to draw letters like "wash me" all over your car.....Quote:

What's your winter setup BP?
Now that's a funny comment….Quote:

They might be more needy, but they have nicer backsides. It's a tradeoff. :dunnoQuote:

Style 68's sitting on 225/45-17 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32's. Blowing by SUVs in the snow is a regular occurance.Quote:

^ and that's about a month and a half'a worth of brake dust. :biggrin
Was the LM32 a rare tire that came out just after the 25 went out of style? Then all the sudden they made a 60 which I have? My 60's feel all over the road. Maybe my suspension is f'ed. LOL
