Chrome wheels and stainless exhaust/tips. That's enough of the shiny stuff. No more to be added.

If it were only legal to paint my Vette chrome, I'd do it!

To much chrome! What does that mean. You can never have to much chrome But you are the one that is driving it, so go with your gut. That is my advise for the day.

B&Bs are nice. I wish I had the option of an X-pipe instead of the resonator. The system has a nice deep sound but I thought it would have been louder. WOT is really a nice sound, though.

I have chrome exhaust tips. The slip over type. They are expensive and do not last. I would go with stainless. They do look very good though when new.
