You can have chrome trims without paying anything extra. It is like on the Msport verion. You can just order it with the trims. So looks genuine M5.

Either way, I'm not a fan of the clear tails, no matter the color! :thumbsdown:

why do you ask if you answered yourself by that question already ??????
clear lights, acs wheels............ possibly the color.............oh yeah, the silver trim ..............
so the overall combo is $ugly..... sorry but put a nice standart silverstone M5 with stock wheels or perhaps 21" wheels as member Cidar has....that is what I call a very beautifull M5,
not this white honda civic look a like style....
