Default Something I'm surprised that hasn't been made for the 3IS yet

Chrome delete/black window trim pieces - with the popularity of the BMW sport models and Audi black optics packages, I am genuinely surprised that spray painting/vinyl wrap is the only solution. In fact, with how many 3IS cars that have been sold and how large the ownership crowd is on these broads, this would be a home run for someone to research and produce (hint hint).

The bmw/audi trim was OEM stuff that had come on cars. Outside the crafted line the trim is mostly chrome. I don't know how many aftermarket trim pieces are made for other cars in general. If you don't want to vinyl/dip the trim you can get autoflex aresols and have it look really good with the gloss. I did OEM black trim on my BMW and it wasn't cheap, I think around $250.

Yea and I hate how for the 2017 refresh they changed the front grill trim to gunmetal but left all the other trims chrome.

wrap, plasti dip or paint are not the only option, there's after market carbon fiber for the front grille surround too.
