Looks good, don't like the spoilers though. (But i don't like spoilers on any sedan, but that's just a personal choice)
I think spoilers make a car look trailertrash.
Color combination is excellent though! I like the tinted tails.

Car looks good. Just my opinion, but I'm not feeling the rims and the chrome trim...

I'm liking everything but the rims.
Don't listen to the haters about the other chrome stuff--I like the offset of chrome, adds contrast/distinction from everyone who's doing all one color. Don't get me wrong, I like shadowline, but I don't think it necessarily is the end all be all.
Good work!

Agree with most of the above - loose those rims. Chrome is hard to pull off correctly on Alpine White, and those rims are waaay off the mark. Proper rims can tie in the chrome trim. Member chrisxiv had chrome rims on his AW when he bought it, but changed to black. However, his chrome rims didn't look too shabby(see pic). I think the problem is your rim style seems old, especially on such a modern higher-end luxury car.

PS - Tinted rear reflectors could bring out the rear a bit more - add a little visual flair to the bumper area as shown below. Look for member jonstintedtails or go to www.jonstintedtails.com
