I used to be all shadowline trim, but then saw a lot of the murdered e60's here, and kind of turned off to it. Maybe if I was 22 (26 now) it'd be better but I think that contrast gives it a bit of maturity.
I may still switch (my chrome is a bit oxidized), but not for a while.

I'd love to matte out my chrome window trim and kidneys. There's a clear PlastiDip product that is used to give a brushed aluminum look, but it's not carried in the store where I live. I may order a couple of cans and give it a shot.
Here's a youtube video of it

Kidneys look better painted body-color than black, though. That's what I did.

But to each his own.
