Not sure if a tacking on a plastic flare to a door is what you want to see at the cost of the M3.

Actually, you are right.

They both look bad, but for different reasons.

It's hard to do fender flares on four door cars.

[killramos]

Tacked in plastic. Pretending the flare isn’t there.

6 of one half dozen of another. Man every time I look at the M3 I find something new I dislike.

Plastic cladding, are they trying to build the next Aztek?

plastic cladding is everywhere nowadays.

Sometimes it's just black. Other times it's carbon fibre.

I assume forged carbon is cheaper, which is why the auto business is pushing it.

[killramos]

My understanding is it’s easier to form into different shapes than sheets of weave. Some potential weight savings.

Calling it forged is hilarious. It’s just chunks of carbon material pressed into resin instead of llarge sheets of carbon pressed into resin.

I don’t hate the look as much as you do. But let’s call a spade a spade.

im sure they could make it look flat black instead of whatever that chunky nonsense is. But I also bet they don't want to because then it would look exactly like what it is: plastic.

Sure. It’s called paint

Your genius is under rated

If everyone could buy base + perf in white and be ready to sell on here in 4-5 years that would be great.

Wow that is a good looking car, green and gold can almost never disappoint in my eyes.

One thing I think this corolla missed is the drift mode. I think the drift mode the Golf R has seems pretty sweet (I cant remember if its full RWD or just a big RWD bias but either way). Just like the new M3 and mercs 4matic+.

Lol I was gonna say. In what world is this considered properly integrated? This is probably the worst part of the car, aside from maybe the triple exhaust.

Haaaa joke's on you. People pay money to get this done for RWB or Rocket Bunny.

No, the joke is definitely on those people. Rocket bunny and LBW are the goddamn worst. RWB is a close 3rd.

If reviews are right, sport mode (70% rear torque bias) plus hand brake to initiate (slips rear diff similar to Subaru) should get you in the ballpark.
