    Did anyone order the body color side blade?

    I was wondering if someone has a white color side blade on Ibis white.

    I know a guy who does, and imho, it does not look great.

    Here you can find two pictures, with my car next to his.

    Ibis is my favorite color on this car, but with only with a carbon side blade.

    Personally, I've never liked the contrasting colored side blades. Mine is black on black and I get compliments on it constantly. In my opinion, it's the way to go. I've had it three years and still love it..

    I suspect the monochrome look is best on a black car. That ibis white just doesn't work for me, nor would any matching side blade on any color other than black. Carbon blades look good with pretty much any color.

    I still think that carbon looks good on a black car better than just a black blade

    I can't say that I am ever a big fan of red cars,.. but this particular one does look smart:

    Notice how he blackened the blade area around the gas tank.

    Never saw that before. I like it, but need to see it in person.

    That is exactly why I think a blade with the same color looks sort of strange in that the blade cuts across the sloping styling of the window. Their modification makes it blend in more.
