Side Skirt Graphics

Cyclops · 07-20-2017, 12:27 AM

I've been thinking of doing some type of decal to the skirts. This is a quick idea and dirty mockup but what do you guys think of this?

I tried it without but I think it looks to plain and like it's missing something there. Maybe not that particular text but something else like M Power or M Performance?

Vanne · 07-20-2017, 01:33 AM

How about like that, minus the coupe lettering, pretty obvious its a coupe

ZAR4MC · 07-20-2017, 02:17 AM

M performance like this?

Maybe remove the sticker on the rear 1/4 glass if you going to do the sticker on the skirt... dont want too many M stickers on the car as it already comes with so many bmw and M badges already...

by the way, You car looks fantastic...

StigJ · 07-20-2017, 04:20 AM

Nooo! Keep your sweet coupe clean

Mirko · 07-20-2017, 06:27 AM

I like it without the letter. If you put M Performance or any ///M logo on it then you have another M logo right above and you get too many of them in one spot.

3GFX · 07-20-2017, 07:33 AM

Love the idea but prefer this text (but the appropriate font).

But sticker for sticker....with this one you gotta lose the one in the rear window

*edit damn that come out small...link

Spring for the aero skirts, paint them and get it done. Much better than stock with the graphic imo.

Frank851 · 07-20-2017, 08:55 AM

Just break down and buy the aero side skirts, paint them and install them on your car. No graphics required. Results in the way the car should have come from the factory. See attached, no graphics.

Frank851 · 07-20-2017, 08:59 AM

Or if you must use a graphic, check this out from dubsesd, after the aero sills are installled:

rockstar93 · 07-20-2017, 10:28 AM

It's not horrible, but I'm not sold on it and probably wouldn't do it if it was me.

Wondering about if you omitted the text altogether but slowly faded the checkered pattern to solid closer to the front of the vehicle.

Cyclops · 07-20-2017, 11:33 PM

OK something to ponder still. Some good suggestions though, but sounds like over all consensuses is

ZAR4MC · 07-20-2017, 11:44 PM

paint/wrap the roof gloss black and add aero skirts if i was in your shoes...

Vanne · 07-21-2017, 05:13 AM

Not a fan of the Aero skirts, i like my lines cleaner, but each to their own. I also like the black sticker on the bottom of dubs old car. Some nice try's Adam

IMHO....it got people talking. That is a sign of something interesting at least. Attention is not always bad when it gets people looking.

Try it out for a bit (I'm sure the cost isn't ridiculous) and then decide for yourself.

I did green once....don't regret it.....but didn't keep it that way either.

Did this for fun (until the new grill arrived).....

Of course I knew it all had to match...

Even the taillights but that didn't last long...

But I do miss it.

I've contemplated a two tone for a little while. Right now my Titanium Coupe has a gloss black roof, but it needs a redo. I was thinking of the A pillars, roof, and hatch in matte or satin black.

I say do what you like. If it's vinyl then the change is only temporary, and really, to hell with what others think.

I've gone searching here on a couple occasions with multiple search terms. I haven't been able to find it.

A buddy did a very quick 'shop on it for me.

I'm not a fan of this at all.
if doing 2 tone I though of doing something like the GT2RS
