Yeah someone near me has a X3M in that color and it definitely has more orange than many of the pics show. I like it.

I did think about that but ultimately decided against it because I couldn't decide exactly how I wanted them to look in red. The easiest option would have been to paint the front cap (the part that folds) but then the lower arm would be black. What I wanted to do was to have the lower arm and the cap painted, but there was no obvious place in that scenario to create a line between the mirror and the black window frame… can you tell that I fretted about this? 😂

Looks fantastic, spridge! Scheduling issues have prevented me from getting mine done. I was going to go full body color, but your more nuanced approach is quite artful and successfully retains a refined OEM look. I received quotes between $1-2k. What did it cost?

I spent an inordinate amount of time looking at the photoshopped and real examples on this forum, but ultimately the deciding factor for me was the shape of the pieces themselves. I originally thought I'd just have them painted fully with the body color, but the shape of the pieces would have looked (IMO) strange without a contrasting color. I thought they looked strange when the parts were entirely black as well. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out, and between that and the MSS springs, the factory lift kit is now a thing of the past!

On to your question - if you're going to reuse the skirts, then the bumpers and rockers have to be removed in order to remove those pieces without damaging the tabs that hold them on. The videos that some companies have posted showing them adding the CF side skirts are very misleading in this regard. The full job, including disassembly/assembly and the paint process described here is $2,500 - $3,000. |

What interior colors are you TR owners going with? Having a hard time deciding which color to go with. Black is too plain for my liking and silverstone just seems like it wouldn’t hold up well since I’ll be having a kid in the backseat. Fiona red seems like too much red with the exterior color and the orange and blue/green don’t seem like it’ll go well at all.

I kind of feel like black, silverstone, and tartufo are the only options that would truly work.
