Pinstripe or vinyl graphics on your M

[06M4.5]

I was thinking for a while that my car needs something to break up all the Diamond Graphite color.

Looking to give my M a little make over and at the same time be a little different, I have a few things that I hope will get done in a few weeks.

As for now I only have one design that I came up with but would like to ask for opinions on what would look good on the M without going overboard or stepping into the VIP style.

Looking for something different

rule #1 it needs to be clean. lets see what you got.

Since you brought this up the other day I was cruising home and came up to another m35x in black with plastidip brown or orange triangle accents all over the car. Looked just horrible!

The person driving it I guess noticed me and floored it lol. (Fart factory smell style). I then noticed he let go again so I was getting closer and as soon as he noticed floored it again lol.

You know it's time to sell your car when immature kids start buying it and dis-tastefully add decals. I just didn't have the need to show my uprev'd car to catch up seeing as an m35x even uprev'd with all the goodies is still a slow a** car lol

Well I was able to make my own design, I sent the design out last night and today it's on my car.

Now I need a nice day so I can take some pics

[svard75]

Post the pics! What did you do?

[robert_4.5_S]

Yeah Freddie we need to see how it looks

[DeanM45]

COOL! I wanna see this!!

[06M4.5]

I was planning to do something to break up all that gray for a long time, it was too much

So after looking & searching & dreaming for some time I found this pic on ebay and I went with some of these design:

I still have a few thing to do but I may have a chance to list my M for the next Fast & Furious movie, the only thing I don't like is that I may have to install one of those big aluminum wings

I'll have pics as soon as possible (weather)

Flame-suit on

When I got my M it already had a pinstripe on it. I did add a bit to the car I must say:

That actually looks a lot more tasteful than I had envisioned in my mind!

[Minus (-)]

Bought Mine with a pinstripe on it

[svard75]

Light pinstripes aren't too bad I guess. I haven't seen any luxury cars with pinstripes or sports stripes. I guess they're just designed well from the factory.

Here is a phone pic showing the new 6pcs vent shades & vinyl stripe:



Don't worry if you see streaks on the side of the car, it's the soap & water used to install the vinyl. Car needs to be washed but it's even too cold to wipe it down (27 degrees).

I hope you guys like

[DeanM45]

That blends damn well! Took me a sec to see it which is perfect. Good job!

[Minus (-)]

Sweet! Always impressed with your M, keep it up!

[06M4.5]

Thanks DeanM45 & Minus

[svard75]

Wait a sec that vent is just a decal? The pinstripes are okay. The problem IMO with decals that are supposed to make something like like its there but it's not is that you wish it was there. Luxury vehicles are the top of the food chain meaning there is nothing more that you need on the car. If you wanted vents then get the body work done for real. Your car looks awesome but the vent decal does not. Take them off and I'll say 11/10!

Sorry.

[06M4.5]

Now that's even funnier

My vents are real:

And if you go up to my 1st post you"ll see 3 youtube videos of my M

o6M4.5 That is arguably the tightest M I've seen to date. Love those vents and the overall sleek look!

Just trying to make it look sporty, clean & a little different all at the same time.

too much rain or it's to cold to get better pics

What percent tint do your have on your M? Do they give you trouble where your at in Jersey? And suggest anywhere to get it done?

[06M4.5]

Thank God so far no problems, I even removed my front Lic plate.

All sides are 20% the big rear window is 15% for all those suv's with high headlights that light up the interior.

The car is tinted with LLumar paper.

I took my M to the best place around my area which is here:

I have a few places around me that do it for $125 - $150 but they use cheap tint and most of the time at the end the job is really far from perfect.

Nice work Freddie!! clean! I have been going back and forth about adding pinstripes or not...

I went with the gloss black vinyl roof - a few years back... but I have the black theme going (emblems, grille, had black wheels before). How about painting 'ghost pinstripes'?

Nice, I'm in the North Brunswick area. I might head up there to do mine. I'm trying to do 20% all around aswell. How much did they charge you?
