i know this may seem obvious but have you test fitted it yet? a lot of parts from china dont have the proper curvature and you'll be dealing with the lip popping off forever.

Here's the link I used to change my trim to matte black. You should do matte black if the portion between the windows is matte also.
FYI....you can use the 'search' function in the DIY section to find more.
GOod luck!

My Ride: 528i, m5 style front, side skirts, and mtech rear. 5% dark tints, matte black grills, w/matte diffuser. Black/white Emblems, Shadowline Trim, Ksport Coilovers,
Are We looking at the Same CAR, that shadowline trim looks wayyyyyy better then the ugly chrome. It makes the car more sporty and aggresive. Its a BMW trademark. I use to think the chrome looked good etc. etc. but the more I looked at the car, the more it just stood out by itself. The matte black makes the car flow much better. trust me you did the right thing.

chrome anything is not very popular on this forum.
i didn't mind the chrome at first but then it started fading and looking all shitty so i dechromed my whole car.
