Too much chrome?????

I just bought some chrome exhaust tips for my 96' Corvette. It already has chrome wheels. Do you think it will have too much chrome? If you have a pick with the tips can I see them? Heres what it looks like now. They are removeable but just wanna know before I put them on.

I have to disagree, you can have too much chrome, but having chrome wheels and chrome exhaust is not too much.

What I don't like is a lot of cars switching their door handles from non chrome to chrome, stuff like that.

Chrome wheels have always been cool, even if the ones today don't last as the ones from yesterday. Thank the environmentalists for that.
