Here is a picture of my car with 35% tint installed all around (legal limit here in MA). Do you notice anything different aside from the tint?

Default Yes, you guessed correctly.
I just put some black trim tape on it to see how it would look. I kinda like it, but didn't cover all of the trim yet. Not sure I will.

Here is a pic with the chrome trim - which do you like better?

hmmm...

I'm 50/50.....

Chrome makes it sharp but the all black give it a mysterious look. I dunno

I don't think you can go wrong either way. But I do think the chrome was put there for a reason

I like the blacked out look. Gives it the Darth Vader look. I wish the GS came with the same Shadow trim as the BMW 545i with the sport package.

you should try that tape on that darn chrome sideskirt thing. IMO, that is one of the biggest eyesores on the 3GS.
