Title: Black or White? help me decide
Post by: Ramblin MAn on October 03, 2009, 02:19:16 PM

My car is white and I like the monochromatic thing I have going on. Spoilers are black to match the trim, but I have eyebrows coming and I can't visualize what they would look like white. I know I have seen them painted the body color but I can't find any pictures here. I found plenty of them left the color of the grills, But I was hoping someone would have or know of pictures of cars that have them painted to match the body. I'd like to take the transit time to make a decision what I want to do.

Anybody?

I would go body-color if I was you, no doubt. But since you have black trim and spoilers, I understand how it´s hard to decide. It´d be great if you could post some pics up, that would give everybody here a better idea of how they would like them to look. Like a more informed opinion, if that makes any sense. Hope this helps

this one´s all right

I have a bunch of poor quality pics in my gallery on this board. I need to get a hold of a decent camera and take some good ones I know.

I was just hoping to see other pictures of of cars with eyebrows that are body color.

And while I was typing this I realized I could just use some white tape to get a good idea when the eyebrows show up.

I'm not a big fan of the "uni-brow" on the e30. I don't dislike it, but it always reminds me of the "Mammoth Car" from Speed Racer or an armadillo. A very mean and cool armadillo, but not for me

Ha ha ha!!LOL! the mammoth car?
never heard that one before. Comparing a BMW E30 with an armadillo, that is. IMO, the purpose of the eyebrow in any car, (but I care only about our E30´s anyway), is to give the car a more agressive or mean stance. Like you, I don´t dislike either the unibrow or the two-piece. But the two-piece eyebrow is only "mildly" mean, when compared with the badboy unibrow. So, if it was my car, (and I will do it), I´d go with the badboy. But that´s just me. I mean, if you want to be mean, you´ll want to be as mean as you can...right?
keep us posted! (pics please whenever you have it installed) Good luck
