    I agree. It's up to the individual's taste.
    I myself have decided that ALL of my Bimmers will have black grills. I just like it, and it provides a basic theme. Also, 35% tint, shadowline, lipo'd bumpers (if applicable) etc....

        Is there a trick to painting all the chrome trim black? any particular prep work required? My car is in the process of getting a re-spray. I was going to color-match the impact strips...
        any thoughts?

        thanks

            I don't think I would shadowline an e30 unless all of the chrome trim was already garbage. If you rattlecan it you are just setting yourself up to have to redo it at least once a year to keep it looking nice.

                you speak no truth. use SEM trim paint and properly sand/clean the trim and it will last a long time. mine still looks fine after like 3 years.

                        Well, OP, seeing as you live in the same city as me...

                        This has been my safe haven for the past while. They have everything you could ever want, and prices are all pretty good. Just use the parts request and they'll either mail you a pair of kidneys or you can do the drive there.

                        Also what kind of wheels do you have? I may have seen you around...

                            Don't do it, or just buy another set off ebay. Mine are painted black but only because the PO painted everything white.......yeah he was a tard.

                            Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
