looks kinda cool, but the chrome grilles are an eye sore. and that front fake "euro" plate just looks cheezy. but the wheels actually look a lil better than i thought that set up would look.

side note, why do people take pics of their cars on a driveway like that? if you want the car slammed, then just slam it. dont fake it lol

Omg stop hating on the chrome I think it adds a nice touch of luxury to a sports car. Btw, we're not driving riced out civics that need to be "all" blacked out.

Take a look at my garage pics an you'll see what I mean. All you need is the right set of wheels to compliment the chrome.

In any case nice car and enjoy
Please don't paint the chrome lol!

dood. just do whatever you like best. at the end of the day, does it really matter if people on here like it or not? you're never going to please everyone, so just do it for yourself.

There is beauty in simplicity.

But as another member said...if you like it then that's all that matters dude.

I just said I hate the chrome. If YOU like the chrome keep the fuckin chrome!

The twin turbo plate is a bit tacky, but hey you've got the turbos at least lol. It would be a whole new level for me to run it on the 325i haha.

What are your options for replacing the chrome anything you like? I got carbon fiber grills that IMO would look amazing on your car too. They look black from a distance. Or even the black grills. I don't know that I've ever seen BLACK CHROME trim, and that may look awesome on your car idk.

I don't know what is "honda civic or rice" about black on black. It can look great and it can look mismatched. Try out whatever you want and find something you like.

BMW should do a brushed chrome like the Audi RS4, give people some damn grille options other than black (not that I'm against black, just that variety is the spice of life).

The car looks good but personally I would de-chrome the windows and fit shadow line trim.
