OK, now I've had a chance to see it.

My opinion is to shadowline the car and black out the grille. But at least your grille treatment is consistent with the chrome trim on your ride.

Looks great. Great job. I'd prefer matte black, but that's just me.
+1 change the chrome trim too.

i was considering matte black but i didnt think it would be too nice with my chrome trim around the windows.
I prefer chrome. Too many years of driving an E36 318ti, E46 325,. and earlier E60 that had black grills with chrome surrounds and also black door/window trim. Digging the all chrome!

You don't get any love for chrome around here. But do whatever you want as long as you're happy, it's your car and money anyway.

Modding isn't addicting, is it Brett?

In a 12-step program yet?? After the M Tech kit and the quads, right?

I didn't realize you added MORE chrome. OK, I guess you're one of the few here that prefers chrome. I had the standard window and grill chrome on mine when I bought it. They were the first thing to go. I didn't want to be seen in a car with chrome on it, what would the neighbours think. I could never live it down
