Matte Black Trim from chrome trim
SO, After around a month of asking if you can swap out the chrom trim with the shadowline, it appears it couldnt be. SO, I went out and asked the guy I know that has painted 2 of my cars and is the ONLY person I will ever entrust with washing/detailing my car. He said yes. Then it hit me, instead of the usual high gloss, why not matte black? So, tomorrow morning at 8:30 I am dropping off my car to have him paint my chrome trim to matte black. I wish I would have known that the sport package also lets your car come with shadowline trim, but this will probably turn out for the better. I love matte black. I will post pictures when it is done.

I am interested in this post as well.. i have a SGM and bought the shadowline grill and my wheels are currently in the shop getting powder coated low gloss black... I currently have the chrome window trim and also have the BMW perf. exhaust which matches that..
My plan is to see how it all looks when i get my wheels back...and if I think the black window trim would bring it all together I was going to see about getting it painted also.. definitely post pics when its done!! I plan to do the samae

yeah there is, people on e90post have done it. However brandon from eas, who does installs for the vinyl on the trim, says that matte black vinyl is better because it wont show swirl marks
