I would like to what the side body moldings would look like if they were chromed. I was going to have a friend take a picture today but, I got hung up spraying my new hood. I am going for the retro-look with chrome. Lets see what you can do! I have a 2004 spiral gray convertible with deep dish c6 zo6 wheels, but any c5 would work. Thanks Gary

Chrome side moldings, Hmmmm, Not for me, I feel it takes away from the fine lines of a C5, They are ment to not stand out. What color did you paint your hood?

The hood is a high rise, but not too high. I painted it Spiral Gray. I wanted to put some kind of stripe on it but really struggled with trying to lay one out. All the lines seem to flow so much ,you don't have defined lines to work off of. Gary
