I think with those wheels, keep the chrome trim. It really sets it off. IMO, black with black with black and black and black on black in black with extra black looks boring (and dare I say it a bit cheap) rather than "mean".
I agree with the lowering, but I would stop there and keep the chrome. I think it looks awesome.

Looks great Tarek! I think the chrome trip (windows) works well with the wheels. Either way, you can't go wrong. Can't wait to see it lowered with the M-tech kit. Oh yeah, get the black-out grills too. They look great on black cars.

You get what you pay for. 
Cheaping mods on a $50-70k car is a big bozo no-no in my book. 
You just gotta be patient and shop around for good deals.

The ACS replicas are pretty nice... but I'm referring to replica M-Tech M5 kits. If that's what you really want, you're gonna look at your ACS kit everyday wishing you waited or saved and bought that instead. I just don't want you to end up having buyers remorse again!

+1 cheap mods at the end dont pay off. I originally got the ACS front replica and then switch out to the mtech kit. it looks 100x better. the fitment for the ACS rep. is not perfect and flush
