Hello all!I have read a lot about the shadowline vs chrome... Windows trim and grills.... it's a mater of choice and taste..to each their own...but....My main question here is: what is the general opinion of both choices at the same time.... Meaning chrome window trim and matte black grills.... Or viceversa....I really like the chrome on the windows.... Taped them and really did not like the outcome.... Maybe it was a matter of getting used to it...but, at that moment, i didnt like them.... Also i like the way the grills look on black.... So.....Any of you using these combined set up? Any pics? Thoughts? Comments will be really appreciated, Thanks

Chrome sucks. Period. Chrome belongs on Merc or Audi, not BMW. :thumbsdown:

Go shadowline and black grills, or even better have the black grills painted to match your car's body color. That looks even better than black.

ill try to post up a few pics later. i had black grills with the chrome trim and thought it looked ok, however it was only like that because i needed a weekend to be able to properly plastidip the chrome trim. my car is black saphire metalic so all black looks nice in my opinion.
