I'm gonna be picking up a DTM spliiter form Rieger... it's available in CF, which I love, but is that a stupid place to have a real CF accessory? Should I just stick with the plastic?

Yeah, totally!! It gives style and variety instead of making it look straight from one tuner...

I plan on mixing the body styles because I don't think any 1 tuner has got it ALL to my liking... Some front ends are more agressive, while the sides and the rear are not , and vise versa.

I agree with Paul, if I were buying some body parts I to would mix up my own kit.
Like this one:

Custom made bonnet, brabus side skirts, Opera Design front bumper and roof wing, Renntech rear bumper and modded fenders (also by Renntech), Hagus M3 mirrors, Black Xeon headlights, Carlsson carpets and steeringwheel.

I agree that 1 tuner don't have it all. You got to mix and match to make your ride stand out among the others. Do what you feel that will make you happy..

Why not mixed? do whatever you want and at the end of the day, it's your money :)

CKlasse: I already got the CF-look pillars with my Sport package :)

Cool, thanks for the replies! I agree, not every kit satisfies me, cuz I like more aggressive looking parts. Hopefully when I get my stuff installed, the lines will flow. Here's what I'm planning:
AMG C36 front bumper with Rieger CF DTM splitter
Lorinser replica sideskirts, Rieger rear bumper add-on (Don't worry, I'm not gonna cut up my C36 bumper), Rieger roof spoiler, CF AMG-style trunk spoiler (top half painted body-color, bottom half clear-coated CF)

It should look pretty hard, but I'm worried about the Rieger rear add-on.... it sits pretty low.
