To do Black Window Trim or not - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

snipersix · 04-01-2008, 08:28 PM

I have a montego blue sedan, and will be getting hyperblack CSL reps as well. So, my will most likely be looking like this setup. So the question is, which one looks better, chrome trim or black vinyle trim:

chrome trim

black vinyle trim (sorry for the quality but it was a quick photoshop :P)

I would appreciate it if you guys would comment on this. Thanks :P

Like that ol' BMW saying goes...once you go black you never go back. Ok, maybe not a BMW saying, but I think the black will look better if you have the blacklines, rims and amber overlays like the car pictured.

Very nice color combo with the wheels. I would do the window trim in black and the front grill.

I prefer the black window trim over the chrome...but it's a costly mod, no? Also, I would def do the matte black grills.

Def. get black trim, looks so much cleaner and slick.

i have the black trim myself.

all depends if u get tints or not
wit tints id rather have the chrome because it contrasts and looks classy
without tinks id just take the black

actually i just realized that my 08 328i comes with black trim, and yes I will be getting tints for the car as well. I plan on getting matte kidney grills as well

on cars with chrome/polished lips I would leave it as it matches the wheels. On cars w/ no lip I would go w/ a black finish
