I Am Pondering This...

There is a member on here, who has a white X5. He had this roof rails and grills painted in a black chrome finish and it looks fantastic. I was thinking of doing the same thing to match the glossy black finish of the window trim. Do you guys have any thoughts or feedback on doing this? The body shop I would be using to do this is top notch. Is there anything that I should be concerned about in regard to doing this? You feedback, as always, is much appreciated.

From what I understand it is a BIG DEAL, due to the fact that they have to remove the roof lining to access the bolts to remove the rails. I would risk painting the rails while on the car due to possible overspray and chipping issues.
