My boy owns a shop so when he painted the mtech kit and put it on, he painted the roof for me for free, i was scared cause i didnt know how it was goin to come out but i love it now...
as far as shadowline goes, do it!!! i was a non believer at first but it honestly looks WAAAY better.
i did a "shadowline" mod myself. i painted my chrome pieces black on the top. here is a good pic to show you a little preview on a aw. i left my chrome pieces on the bottom, mostly because i got lazy.

The chrome trim does not look so bad with chrome wheels. If the wheels were the only think chrome on the car they would look kinda outta place. I would however paint the rear diffuser with some SEM black trim spray to give it some contrast.

YES! Chrome does not belong on a BMW. Period!
Also, when driving around with chrome trim, it's obvious to those that know BMW's that your car does not have the Sport Package.
