I think you should leave the front the way it is. The emblems look good when the fogs are taken off, but having both on one looks a little too 'busy,' if you know what I mean, to me at least.

To answer your question, the chrome parts of the car (pony emblem, GT emblems, faux gas cap, dash vent bezels) are all metal plated plastic. I know of none that you can buy that are brushed, but with a little effort and some 300 grit sandpaper, you can brush them yourself.

I havedone this for my dash vent bezels and my faux gas cap. It works great and looks 100x better than chrome.

less emblems=more clean=much better

IMO of course.

Leave the car the way it is. Really sexy ride you have!
