Here's more









I don't really like the front bumper at all.... (the fender flares are kinda weird to me, too)




Notice that the engine bay is painted chrome as well










New wheels have replaced the stock ones, but I haven't seen pictures yet, nor do I know what kind they are.

For some reason, I don't think this chrome M3 looks as nice as the chrome Benz's in that calender.

i think the same too! i think it's the lines on the car, they don't go as well when chrome, the reflection doesn't work out right?

Thanks for sharing People are saying that other drivers will get blinded by the reflection, but what about the driver (hopefully chromed cars do not drive on any streets)? Won't he get blinded by the reflection from the hood? Will the windshield deflect the reflection? Wait, chrome the windshield too j/k
