My honest opinion, is that its a little bit too much carbon fiber for my taste. It is however nicely done.

To each their own, but that's looking a bit too AutoZone for me.

I'm sure it looks better in person. CF wings looks a little off.

Ever seen some forum threads made by those who REALLY KNOW HOW TO MOD, there's a reason their threads have high view numbers loaded with questions. That's because they posses a skill in their eye that seems to elude others who struggle on what to get to make their vehicle LOOK DIFFERENT. External modding is tricky with KNOWING what additions to make that "enhance" the styling without going overboard. However, the most crucial decision some fail to make with modding is also knowing when to STOP.

Yeah, I agree with your comment about too much of something nice.

I have seen a few people going overboard with carbon fiber and steering wheels and M badges and stuff like that on here. They're getting compliments on them too! It's refreshing that the OP asked for opinions and people actually told the truth.

Sometimes it's tough to know when you've done just enough modding. Because less can be more with a vehicle like this. It's already special just by being an M. It already looks the part and taking mods too far cheapens the look of an amazing classy but badass vehicle.

To each his own...

It's not my cup of tea, but it's not my car too.

Everybody must become happy in his own way...

These winglets are elegantly small, novel and they make the car easily recognizable and more difficult to steal - they look certainly better than the fat and fake factory side vents slapped on the F95.
