Default chrome bumper trim




idk if anyone else would maybe consider this look...and it's really pricey now, so i'd wait on it, but wondering if you guys thought this looks good on our cars...or more specifically my car i haven't really decided if this would be too much chrome or enough to add to the classic look i'm going for...also considering chrome (not aluminum) trim around the windows (quarter and MAYBE doors)......

I agree...the chrome just doesnt flow. I can see some interesting applications for chrome in the interior though!

I saw this 2 years ago at SEMA.
Out of place since nothing else is chromed on the S197.
I still wouldn't want that on my Stang.

Hmm, looks like it cuts right into the whole look of the car.
Nice contrast and all but I wouldn't do it.
Bumber covers are in, chrome bumpers are out these days.
