Which Trim? Chrome or Shadowline

1ster · 11-20-2007, 08:15 AM

If you could spec your trim independent of whether you get the Sport Package, which trim would you get?

Rook24V · 11-20-2007, 08:59 AM

Sapphire Black Metallic w/ Shadowline
Tinted windows. ASA AR1 wheels (black centers)
Red stoptech brake setup front/rear.

Aww yeah. thats the buisness.

Why would you change the stock 6 pot Brembo brakes for Stoptech's? Just because of the red?

I voted Shadowline, but it really depends on the color of the car. I think either chrome or shadow has a better look, based on the exterior color of the car.

Chromeline. It just looks better.

jopali · 11-20-2007, 10:15 AM

+1 MPower. The Chromeline is where classy begins.

i'm liking the shadowline with montego blue

gbent · 11-20-2007, 10:48 AM

It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who has a little taste.

I think some of our younger members are getting a little lesson in the concept that not everyone has to like whatever the latest trend is.

Rook24V · 11-20-2007, 10:49 AM

I should have qualified.

I want a 128i. Not a 135i.
Less money, better fuel economy, plenty of power, long term reliability is likely to be better.

So yeah, I'd put stoptechs on a 128i, if I couldn't get a good deal on 135i stock calipers

Chrome belongs on a Lincoln, imho. Your miles may vary.

one more

now if 2 m5's and a m3 isn't classy enough idk what is :shrugs:

Templedogg · 11-20-2007, 11:29 AM

Depends on the color to me. I think Chrome on the black, SGM looks best!!! But I am getting Montego and I think Shadowline looks best on that color.

gbent · 11-20-2007, 12:04 PM

How about this?

+1

personally I like both trims, but on darker colors I'd say the chrome looks better, while on lighter colors the shadowline
