Just bought some black kidney grilles, now the question is, how do you guys do the chrome trim around the windows? paint, vinyl wrap or is there a replacement trim? I have not seen any black window trims on ebay..

To test things out I went with a vinyl wrap to create a shadowline trim from BMWShadowline. Order is on the way and hoping to get this installed by this weekend. If this doesn't hold well I will probably go OEM.

I own a printing/vinyl cutting company so I may get one of the guys to trial some matte vinyl.. I had a quick look around and saw there may be a fair bit of work in changing to the OEM trim, it looks like it could be fairly painful :S

ACS front is not bad, but the rear is way busy in my opinion. In any case, congrats on the mods! The Vertini Magic looks awesome, but I do agree, them being in a different color will probably be more distinctive and allow its features to be showcased more.

Got them off ebay, were around $70 delivered I think.

Played around and took a couple of pics tonight of the car. Was messing around with camera techniques, so the pics could be better, but some were alright.
