Help pick my spoiler & color

Hello all,

I have an alpine white 335i. I am thinking it could use a trunk lip of some sort. Currently, cosmetically, I have the IND front reflectors and 35% tint. I plan to eventually get a rear diffuser, that I will likely keep the matte black.

So, with that, I'm debating on what spoiler to get. I would like to know what styles you would recommend. I also would be very interested to hear your thoughts on what color the spoiler should be. I'm thinking carbon fiber might look really nice, but am concerned that it being the only carbon fiber piece may look strange. Thoughts there? Otherwise, it's gloss black or white to match.

I appreciate all your feedback and assistance!

Thanks,

Mike

I have an Alpine white also, and I stuck with the classic Alpine White spoiler, even though my car is the sportline with gloss black mirror caps...I could have gone either way but the alpine white spoiler just gives it a more finished and cleaner look...the black and carbon fiber looks out of place...the black or carbon fiber spoilers are starting to get a little bit overdone nowadays...just my 0.02

Wow, surprised to see so many people choosing white. I was expecting to see the opposite.

iki4life - thank you for your detailed feedback. I've never done anything but color matched spoilers in the past so am just considering something different.

I had a black lip spoiler on my e90 and I switched to a body colored alpine white spoiler for my F30.

Had I used CF parts for the front and rear diffusers, and mirror caps I would have gone with CF, otherwise I think the white looks the best. It is a great mixture of classy + aggressive.

also voted white. I have a 328 Sportline which also has some black accents (mirrors etc), but felt the black spoiler is just a bit too much. The white still looks aggressive without trying too hard lol

Where are you going to get your spoiler from?

I am debating on one as well, but not sure what one to get for my white 335.

I have the front bumper spoiler as well.

emotors2000 is well known as a good ebay vendor. I'll likely get mine from him, depending on the style and color I go with.

Another part I'm not hearing much of is the style spoiler. Are most of you going with the M performance spoiler, M4, etc?

Thank you everyone for your input. After some debate, I think I am going to go with a carbon fiber one. Something different (I don't believe I've ever had a carbon fiber part before).

I am looking to get one on ebay. Any preferred vendors? emotors2000, carbon king? Any other? What do I need to look for. Links would certainly be helpful.

Thanks so much!

I read on here that rw carbon gets their parts from the same supplier that an eBay vendor uses. Anyone know anything about this and what eBay vendor it is?
