yup! the good news is my wife and I really like the alpine blue so im glad we ordered it. bad news, we will definitely want to be toning down all the chrome. as I look at our current 40i msport, the black trim color doesn't look just jet black...more like a black chrome id guess. if I order oem black kidney grilles I wonder if my body shop guy will be able to match? maybe just paint and PPF the ones on it and have it all the same gloss black that he paints.
The factory shadowline OEM grills should/will match the shadowline window and roof rails color. You can probably source the OEM shadowline trunk strip and hockey sticks from dealer parts dept.
