    Picking up a new, white MX LR tomorrow. Have some black Martian wheels coming and have an appointment to tint the windows and chrome delete. Car is mostly for my wife/nanny to move kids around. I've always disliked chrome trim, but given the use case, am I going nuts chrome-deleting?

    Having some second thoughts and looking for what you all think about the storm trooper look on the MX.

    Thanks!

    I'm in the same pickle. I love the stormtrooper look, but I'm also trying to not throw money away...chrome delete $2k, powder coating of stock wheels another grand. But it would look sooo cool. It's Christmas, I've been a mostly good boy this year :)

    I initially liked the storm trooper look on white Tesla’s. It’s grown stale to me now. It’s totally a personal choice.

    I am enjoying the anonymity of this thing. Yes when you get close it’s a Tesla but from 20 yards, just another white people mover with chrome trim and silver wheels

    That's not to criticize the white/black look at all, it looks particularly good on the Model X IMO with the dark plastic lower cladding everywhere and the black roof.

    I went for the Stormtrooper look this week and picked up my car yesterday. It's a big difference. They did a great job and I'm very happy with the result.
