Stormtrooper 640...
I replaced my OEM 19s with some glossy powder coated OEM 20s. I'm still trying to decide if I go with a) a black trunk spoiler, and b) either no trunk badging or glossy black badging. Any thoughts on either of those??

I think it was $1,550 and $150 for shipping, so $1,700. I found them on Craigslist, but the seller seems to have a eBay store, which I think is under *******change, IIRC.
That was without sensors, so I ended up spending about $3K for wheels, TPMS and tires. |

No way!! Your BMW is the one I saw online that made me go with glossy black wheels! I was just searching Google for images, and yours came up. Granted, I would've liked to have gone with the liquid black wheels, but I was able to find some cheaper 373 wheels and had them powder coated. Any recent mods?
Time for me to crash out, but it's nice to meet the guy that inspired me to go with the stormtrooper look on my 640! |

What about the chrome behind the front wheels and on the door handles. Looks out of place.
Get them wrapped black too. |

Love your 650!! I was debating wrapping the last bits of chrome in black, and I think you sold me on it. Does your grille have the 1/2 chrome slats, or is it all black?? Mine has the 1/2 chrome slats, which is why I thought of leaving the side markers and door handle inserts with some chrome. I've got some glossy black trunk badges, so that would be easy.
Why does someone else's car always look more bad ass than your own?? Yours looks so much better than mine, but that's probably just in my head, huh? |

Yeah, see my other comment. The guy above has one all blacked out, and it looks pretty sick. I did that on my Alpine White F10, and I didn't like it quite as much. I think it's because I went with matte black, and the glossy adds some class to it, I think.

@jwblack750, looks nice.
I would do color match that front bumper reflector and gloss black side marker piece. Door handle wise, just do a wrap.

Thanks! I just washed it and swapped out the badging for glossy black. I may go without badging, but I like the black for now.
Any pics of your M6?? |
