So I'm probably not gonna be getting the M style body kit, I just would rather buy new wheels and I bought the LCI/V6's a few months back (Thanks Ricky & Bruce!)

I bought some 1/8" chrome trim (which fits PERFECTLY on the plastic trim between the fog lights) and here's the outcome. I think it is a pretty nice improvement and looks factory. Oh and if anyone knows where I can get a painted front license plate holder I would greatly appreciate it!

Most people around here are most definitely anti-chrome.

I did the opposite, had shop painted black over the silver horizontal trim on the LCI, then kept black in the middle and silver on both sides like the F10, then did something else and snowballed into a mess and now got Mstyle replica bumper. I am at peace with myself!

If it was a Honda or Toyota - this may be OK.
For a luxu-brand, hmmm....I think it's better to keep it simple.
Just my opinion.

In these parts, if you put more chrome on your ride, you had better put on the flame suit.
