Help...Need input...Front add on
Whats up...when I cant make up my mind on somthing, Im glad I have the forums to help push me twords the better choice...Ive decided to get a front spoiler (add on lip) I already have a carbon fiber 1 coming, but Im sure I can switch it to a painted 1 (white) if I wanted to. You all know my wheels have black accents, the windows on the car are blacked out, the grill is chrome & black...the rear diffuser is stock black, the grills in the buttom bumper are black...well with all that said....DO YOU (MY BROTHERS FROM OTHER MOTHERS) think I should stick with the carbon fiber 1 .... or get 1 that is painted white....Thanks 
the only white car I can really point out off the top of my head is LINGS C55, he has a carbon fiber lip on his white C55...if you guys wanted to check it out for a qucik refrence...i know allied has a painted 1 on his white CLS...note both those cars have silver wheels...

I say get a white one. It will give a cleaner sleeker look. The carbon fiber will look like an add on with the car being white and no other carbon fiber features. Black and white say "class" adding carbon fiber will take away from that.

God Father how are you doing? Driving through LA was hell getting to the meet I don't know how you guys live there. I was thinking about doing my LIP in a CF wrap but being so low to the ground yell run into everything and it will show on the CF and be hard and expensive to repair I think. I painted my white another color I was thinking was black but again any scraps are gonna show so white was the best option in my opinion. What lips are you thinking of getting anyway? Good Luck talk to you later buddy.

yo moe, scrapes and scratches will show on both white and carbon fiber(black) on white the scrapes will show black, and on carbon fiber (black the scrapes will show a dark shade or a white, so either way you cant think of the scrapes...But besides that you wheels are silver...my wheels have black accents, so it might look better with the carbon fiber...for example like VIC55...I know my wheels arent totally black, but its got black...Im still on unsure...

Ive seen the cf lip on a white e55 with pano and blk rims and its not that impressive nor noticable, A white lip would be my choice...
Also a 63 bumper would look bad *** on your car...

I purchased it from an MBworld member that didnt use his (didnt order it from any shop or anything)... But I think I could swap it with a local shop here for a painted 1, but for now I own a CF 1
lol dont worry....
any insight Neal? I know uve sent out a million of these, do you like the look of the carbon fiber on a white AMG, or would you go with a painted 1

I personally, would leave it CF. And that my honest opinon, if not i would say paint it. But the CF on white looks sick!!!!!!! Look at lings car, enough said. Plus with your wheels it will match good. As for scrapes, you will see less on the CF then it being white.

thats what I was thinking to about the scrapes...Yeah I really think the CF will look nice, thoe only think That bugs me is that is hard to see somtimes...I mean, in a dark place, or in a parking lot its hard to notice it...ive seen ones that are painted white and they look good, but I think the CF will go with the tints, the black grills in the lower bumper, the black rear diffuser (stock) and the black accents in my wheels...

I personally like Ling's contrast.
But, if you choose to paint it MAKE SURE you get it clear bra covered before you mount it. If not, it will definitely chip and then the dark will show.

I like his contrast too, I think mine might look slightly better because of the black accents in my wheels...
