Default My MSM IS-F *pics*

Hey guys, just got my '08 MSM a little over a week ago. Absolutely loving it!

Ordered S4Play's rear diffuser today. Contemplating a black chrome grill surround and black pearl emblems, also ordered the tape to wrap my silver door trim black. Might order some aerotect overlays for the tails and reflectors. Don't know if I should go with smoke or steel? Any suggestions? Basically I will be going for a black/gunmetal/silver exterior theme. If anyone has pics of a MSM with black emblems, smoked tails/reflectors etc, I would love to see.

Here are a few pics of my car with my new camera, don't really have the camera figured out yet! Future pics will be better I'm sure.

congrats on the F! i love the pic of the front. the mercury metallic certainly shows off the lines of the F well. hope you're enjoying it! as for whether to go smoke or steel, i think steel might look better for your gunmetal exterior look, but that also depends if the cops are really pick over there. i chose smoke because you can still see the red lighting.

Congrats on the F man, great color choice! The silver shows off the lines of the F very well I have the smoked/diffuser/tinted look on the rear I think your asking about. S4play does as well (I think we both have the same rear setup). I'd be happy to post a pic or two in here if you'd like or you can search for some

Enjoy the car and let us know how it comes along!

Looks Great. Here's my MSM with Black Pearl Emblems, Partially Tinted Tail Lights, Reflector, and S4 Play Diffuser

Thank you everyone for the replies, I am looking forward to having this car for quite awhile and making it look even better than it already does. Thanks verals05 for the pic, it looks amazing! I may be doing something very similar

Dumb question about the Aerotect overlays...is the smoke or the steel a "lighter" color. I think I need it to be where the red still shows through as the cops in my area are incredibly picky.

Thanks again guys! Will be posting more pics as my mods start to unfold.

I just tail light tint, because I was worried about the same problem. The tint works great, cause its easy to custom cut and plus at night the red shows when headlights are on it.
