I just got my clear PPF done on my brooklyn grey G82 and had them black out the front and rear reflectors. I cant tell you how much of a difference such a small change makes but the orange reflectors in this pic you posted are staring into my soul. LOL

Enjoy the new wheels!

Haha. Tinting those reflectors tomorrow along with all windows and windshield. Can't wait

Haha there you go. The tint and the blacked out reflectors pop so well with the BG and all the black accenting. Cant go wrong there.

Here are a couple of pix back when I first picked up the car, you can see how the blue brake matches the interior and BG (I have done many mods since

Ducts are from Unit17 (mesh is not included) and splitter from RW Carbon. I"m really satisfied with the fitment on both of these. ***The wavy fitment at the top of the air duct is a reflection of the PPF that wasn't tucked in properly.

Love that we're all so meticulous about our cars that we need to pre-point out imperfections and or questionable areas in the photos. 🙃

I'm copying you. That looks perfect. That weave in the mesh you added matches so well.

Loving mine. Wishing I got more carbon. All the frozen options are awesome and much more rare so that's a tough call.

I told myself before I built mine that I wasn't going to go above $90k on the base.

The reason why I mentioned that is because I purchased 2 other CF ducts from 2 diff companies and didn't like the quality and fitment.

I honestly wanted to go with a honey comb mesh but I thought if the point is to protect the coolers might as well get a tighter mesh.

It looks like im going to have to get a g80 brooklyn gray M3

MassComp · 05-06-2022, 07:55 AM

I might be swinging back to Brooklyn Grey myself on my 2023 build (from my current Skyscraper Grey choice). Brooklyn was originally my first pick since it was the closest thing to Audi's Nardo Grey you could get on the G8x as a $550 paint option. But after seeing a few pictures of Brooklyn looking kind of washed out in the sun, I started lusting over the more premium color Dravit Grey. But again, after seeing pictures of Dravit in the sun, all that gold flake was a turn off.

I'm now beginning to think Skyscraper Grey is just not "exotic" enough for a $90k M car, and I may be gravitating back to Brooklyn Grey. Another thing I've just noticed is the gold calipers of the carbon brakes look great with Brooklyn!....

Bullseye..this is pretty much my thought process for choosing BG. Someone at my golf club has a dravit grey G80. The gold flakes (although they look pretty cool in some photos online) made it an immediate no for me. I went with BG + full YMB interior to give it a little punch.

I ordered the same lip from RW Carbon, its a 4 week delay. Did you add anymore screws to it?
