I don't think it flows well with the whole blackout theme,

If you could get smoked covers that would look much better

Honestly, I would drive it around for a while and decide if you like it. But, I think that the optic blue would look better on your black than yellow or even the smoked. JMHO, but I am a bit Eurotrash tho, LOL Did it go on easy? I did the trimming prior to peeling the backing with an exacto. No bubbles and nice straight edges.

i had the smoke covers back a while ago. they looked good but not so good at night.

I put the entire piece on and then trimmed and heat gunned. My friend helped me out. Im not really feeling it now. and yeah it does not flow well with the black out theme. man im really pissed.

Well, I did have the yellow on my AW M3 and I liked it. I prefer the yellow and blue over blackouts because I don't like reducing the light output that much. It's no huge deal, when you get sick of it, just pull it off and switch to blue or clear (got to have something to protect them). Just a $50 experiment, right?

heres my thread when i had the black film. its flows really well with the lines of the car but the xenons dulled out at night FTL

http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92171

yes i think its very different. after i saw pics of PETFROGS old GT3RS with them i was like OMG i have to do that. Ive learned never to copy a P-car styling cue to BMW (expecially a GT3RS LOL). Ill take a drive out tonight to see if the light output is actually better.

I actually think it makes it stand out from the standard Z4 blacked out. I'm gonna vote "yay" *flame suit on* I'd keep it on, I bet it looks mean coming up behind someone. Your car is clleann

It does make the car stand out, but not in a good way.
