the chrome kidneys look so so much better on a dark colour.

Again, that cracks me up. People hate the chrome trim, but like the chome kidneys??? Not me...

Shadowline all the way is way better (IMO).

And the guy above is right. Black or Orient looks awesome, even slightly dirty. EVERYONE says that you have to wash it more. So, wash it more. I have black sapphire and the car still looks super even after a week of not washing it.

Medium colors like gray and silver just blend in with all the other cars on the road.

the chrome kidneys look so so much better on a dark colour.

I don't think the problem is in the washing, but with the swirl marks and the such that can result with improper technique.

I actually thought about painting mine because I love the shadowline time and want to remove all the chrome.

What do think about the black kidneys on a Silver Grey car?
