I also wonder what adding carbon fiber parts would look like vs a total chrome delete. I also think about blackout taillights. So, considering that, does any one have a blue G30 with black trim and/or blackout taillights? Just looking for some pics to help make a decision. Thanks in advance.
You know, I am not into Chrome, but I do like the Cerium Gray trim on the M550. That said, I do think the chrome looks good on your color. If it were any of the black or gray tones BMW offers, I would be all over it.

In terms of smoked or tinted tails, I have never been a fan. I would swap them out for LCI tails, they have a lot of black in them and 3D effects. I find the pre-LCI tails are really starting to look dated and are very close to the look of the prior generation F10. As much as I don't love the huge red pre-lci tails, I think huge smoked pre lci tails would look worse.

Just my opinion of course, it is your car. Again, I do like your color with the chrome trim.

In terms of mixing in CF. I did and I think it looks great. Grill is CF, spoiler is CF and diffuser is gloss black, the rest of the bits are original Cerium.
