I'm a bit curious as to what the deal is on this one. Whenever you see an E60 pic with chrome trim ppl are very quick to say "ok, now you need to slam it and get rid of that chrome trim" EXPLAIN!

I have the chrome window trim as well. I do agree though that the shadowline is more sporty looking. I chose to keep my window trim chrome as it goes well with the stock kidney grills. also it matches the lips of my wheels

here's pics when I had my Aiconas on http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=57630&hl= . contrasts well with tint in my opinion, but the flow of shadowline blending with the tint is great too.

not a big fan of the chrome...
on a side note: vulgar/colorful language is cool every once and awhile, but every thread/post
...c'mon...
