Hi guys, I guess I am kind of new, even though I started posting about a month or so ago. Here are some first pics for my vehicle. Unfortunately, I am not great at taking pro looking shots like a lot of you, lol.

Anyway, here are some pics. I like my chrome, I think it looks good, so hah!

And I haven't had the chance to take pics of the rear, as I had a M5 spoiler installed last week, thanks to Daniel. I will post once I get around to it.

Haha, to each his own I guess, but then again, I already knew that this forum is not fond of them.

I do prefer mine, as I find it complements the shine from a clean black car well. I don't like the car to have a "flat" look. Even if I were to choose different wheels, I would probably get black wheels with chrome lip or something.

That's why I don't get the whole shadowline trim thing... especially on black cars. It just makes everything blend in, and seems boring to me.

The first one is about 7 years old, and the white one is about a year old. My cousin that lives with me, he has an all black kitten that's a few months old. We have a zoo here, lol.

I am no fan of the wheels either but: (1) it is your car; and (2) it is hardly an ENVY chromemobile.

I can kind of agree with you there. This weekend I did my trim (as you might have seen) and I did it at my friends house. He has a black Altima SE with chrome trim around his windows and it does look good, breaks up all the black really well.

I just would've gone with chrome LIPPED rims instead of full chrome, but to each his own.
