All,

Anyone have any idea what the resulting look might be if we were to contrast color the flat portion of the fenders around the wheels? It's flat, almost as if there was a bodykit piece missing????

For example, I have Iridium Silver w/Night package.
I am curious to know how it would look to apply black vinyl to the flat portion of the fender.....
Also has added benefit of rock chip prevention....

Anyone tried this?

I would suggest taking a screenshot of the area you are referring to and highlight the section you want done. Maybe someone has some photoshop skills!

It's the squared off part, right above the wheel?
Literally, flat on the fender and EXACTLY perpendicular to the ground.
No highlight/photo editing s/w at the moment.

I think it would look terrible. You're talking about the flat area that's about an 1 1/2 tall or so at the edge of the fender? You want to make that another color?

Oh dear.

I wouldn't say I WANT to, just that it's an intriguing thought based on it's shape....

I just love how terrible all the panel gaps are on our cars! haha.

I know this is the world of car customization and everyone likes their own thing, but why do that? I think it would be incredibly distraction and take away from the rest of the car and be an eye sore. He asked, I opined

I'm not saying I'm going to, I'm just pontificating, hypothesizing, you know - whatever.

I've seen the older/other Mercedes (and the like) where they put chrome in that area... Personally, I hate chrome - it's so 80's. That's why, I've blacked out ALL of my chrome, silver, or grey on the car (not shown in that picture).

I'm just waiting for a cheap Chinese accessory for that area and wondering, in advance of that, what it might actually look like.

In retrospect, I think a better color might be red or yellow (dependent upon your calipers).... But, your point about panel gaps is taken which is why, after I printed a picture of my ride and used a marker, realized that it will likely look as if the fender / wheel gap is enlarged...

Wondering what Red or Yellow might look like, but I don't have a marker or patience.

But everyone's opinions are appreciated.

Just wanted to explain my "logic."

Yup.
Even worse than my coloring book attempt.
Not doing it....
Your eyes are all safe.

If you did that, you'd end up making the wheel gap look bigger basically.

auditoamg

Yup.
Figured that out...
Thankfully before doing it, but not before Za stupid post.

Check out these wheel arch flares from Boca Design. They would round off your square arch!
