Classy or Tacky
I'm not a big fan of all the chrome accouterments (headlight trim, mirror covers, etc.). I think 99% of it is really tacky. I'm kinda interested in this though. Not sure. For those that don't like all the chrome junk; what do you think about this? Hot or not?
This is not my car. My car is paladium silver.

To be honest with you
I think this worked out because the car is silver
if it were another color for instance white, grey, and especially black
it would really make things a bit tacky.

You can just remove and spray those parts. I don't like the chrome, but maybe if it were the same color as the car?
Ours are granite gray and paladium silver, so dunno about that. I need the grill painted first.
