RE: Chrome??? Yay? or Nay?

It's a personal thing. Our Mustangs were designed to mimic the older Mustangs of the past. Just look at them and tell me that the chrome is out of place... NOT! Most of us that are older, understand this and can also appreciate the chrome's place on any car, including the current Mustang. Clean is good and some of us like the chrome accents, I personally have a few tid bits on mine and receive a generous amount of positive comments (from mostly older people). The younger crowd seems to be down on chrome, and that's fine. Like I said, It's a personal thing.

I was driving next to a SHelby GT yesterday.. and I was just looking at the rear of it cause I like it other then the fact it doesn't have a spoiler.. But I started lookign at the chrome tail light trim and the more I looked at it the more I liked it I think. It looked pretty good on his car anyway... How do you guys/gals feel about the chrome trim?

I liked the chrome look back in the 60's...not too fond of it on the S197 Mustangs. But, it boils down to personal preferences.

I drooled more at your stripes than the chrome grill insert. Those look like they were painted on really well! (Assuming they're painted, they sure look like it, how much did that run you?)

Yeah, I've never been to big on the chrome either.
That brushed stainless looks pretty clean though. Got me considering :-p

Satin, they are Astra Hammonds, got them from Amazon.com about a year and a half ago. They had the best price and IIRC free shipping. Think I paid about $270.
