Six months probation to be accepted into the ACC is tough, but I'll serve my time and report back in chrome free. Do I even have to remove the factory chrome tips on my tailpipes?

Listen guy, there is a code of the streets around here. NO CHROME. ever. even if you have chrome trim around your windows like me, it is your mission to work every day as hard as you can to replace it. Work hard man. No chrome.





Did I mention no chrome, ever................anywhere on the car.



No chrome.




Not even the model number on the back of the car.




No chrome. anywhere. ever.
So in regards to Chrome, you're saying what exactly???

Here is my car with chrome. If you like chrome get it you dont have to be like everybody else. Sorry for the crappy pic

If they look like that then yes. haha. Those are hot. You should get silver with a chrome lip. That always looks hot in my opinion. Im one for the black wheels or black with a polished or chrome lip

Look on tirerack.com. You can see the wheels you pick out on your monaco colored e60.
