Note the black belt-trim side moldings, above license plate, etc.

Chrome surrounding black grille. Haven't seen that done before.

Also glove-box button painted silver to match shifter surround & back of instrument cluster. The silver ties your eye into a triangle in the black interior.

No disrespect (i give props to anyone who mods there cars to what they want) but the black front bumper strips make it look like it has a moustache lol also the silver glove box button looks abit odd since its surrounded by a ocean of black, I love the rims and the grill tho keep it up! btw that is just my opinion power to ya man!

Thanks for the input. Did not think about the black front bumper strips lol.
And about the glove-box button, I do agree with you somewhat on that.
However I also think the factory silver backed gauges and silver shifter surround seem out of place as well (even headliner included.)
I just returned an E63 off lease, and do miss the "all-black" interior...
The gauges were different and the shifter surround was the birds-eye maple wood. The headliner was black alcantera in that car.
Appreciate the comments anyway.

Thanks for other responses gentlemen!
