What do you guys think? You like the smoked lights and black 545i? Its just a photoshop thing, but I was thinking about it the other day b/c i'm looking to make a couple small changes to stand out from the rest

I personally am not digging the smoked taillights.

But the Black Chrome 545i emblem could be a nice touch. I had Black Chrome emblems placed on my Black Lexus.... and it was a nice combo. It made the emblems more understated.

Has anyone found someplace to buy Black Chrome emblems for BMW?

Now that i see it, i don't know if i like the blacked out lights too much. They look cool, but not something that would be of my taste. But I'm stilil interested to see if they have the 545i/530i/525i emblems available in a glossy black. I know lexus has them (or at least had them), and Mission Viejo Imports (Merc dealership) has a good looking C55 w/ all black chrome emblems and wheels which looks REALLY good. Let me know if anyone has seen any black chrome on silver or any black/black chrome emblems for us E60's...TIA

Check out my car as well. I have tinted tails and reflectors. You can see pictures of my car in the custom BMW gallery on my website.

Thanks,
Jon

Smoked is good as long as you don't go too dark.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I have yet to see some light tint on silver that looks good (probably b/c i'm seeing mostly dark). The dark is cool, but not to my liking, i'm looking for something a little just to stand out w/ the 545i (which I plan on figuring out to get a black pearl 545i like Lexus & MB has). Anyone have any pics of silver w/ light tint on the back lights?
