Is the chrome window trim removeable?
If it is, I want to get it powdercoated. Does anyone know? Like many, I hate the chrome trim as it takes away from the smooth lines of the windows. I can do the vinyl wrap, but I was told that it would expand over time. Therefore, I don't want to deal with it.
I want it done in a gloss black like this G35:

I checked into it and its going to be hard to paint. not that it cant be done...but I think I am going to try the black tape as they have in the ISF thread and see how it holds up. my worry is the rear door where its larger...they may need to overlap in that area?
maybe someone else has a better idea but I am with you on this
"operation no chrome"

I like the chrome trim around the window personally. I think it makes the car look more high end. This sounds like trendy stuff that will look dated sooner than later

Not to me. Looks cheap to me. The biggest pet peeve of this car was all the chrome, the grill, headlight, window and lower door sill. A lot of BMW guys use vinyl to cover their chrome up. It's overly done on this car.
I like the gloss piano black look on the windows. I'm not into the murdered out it, but it's much more subtle than chrome.
