Lower Rear Facia in Chrome?
I decided the look that I would try is to have the lower rear facia in chrome or some sort of thin mirror acrylic. Anyone know of anybody who does that type of work?

Contact Vstella forum member because he makes that in vinyl and vinyl does have chome vinyl.
Try it to see if you like it and then do a true chrome later.

While I don't really think that chrome belongs on the bumpers of a modern car, I don't recall chrome bumpers ever blinding me.
I'm waiting for someone to post that old pick of a flat chrome bumper bolted to the back of a mag red C5.

If you're talking about "chroming" the bottom of the fascia that people are typically painting black, then I think that might be cool. I wouldn't try to really "chrome" the plastic though. I'd look for a mirror finish vinyl that could be removed if you don't like it. On a black car, I think it'd have the potential to look cool.
Great! I said "cool" twice in three sentences! I've really got to start reading these things before hitting the "submit" button.
