SOME chrome in the engine bay.. sure.

BUT, chrome body accessories like those tail-light bezels...PUKE! Always hated when people cheese out their vettes.

Your ground effects are nice, but...the graphics you have on the side of the car...yeah thats kinda cheesy to be honest :p

All I am looking at is a tiny picture of your car so it's hard to tell much else...

If you like them, use them. Pretty simple, really. I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about what other people think. This place seems to be packed with bountiful numbers of wisenheimers, perhaps myself included.

Ok, To the OP,
As you can see there are a lot of people that have many thoughts on this subject. It's really entirely up to you. I have received lot's of great comments and also not so great ones. If you like your car without them, take them off. If you do, keep them. Simple. Never let someone choose how you want your car to look. It's your car. Enjoy the car, the way you want to enjoy it!

They look horrible and tacky. And to dc58 your accents and from what I can see of the ground fx look tacky too. Sorry. You asked. Chrome belongs on wheels. Not stuck on the outside body of the car.

I find it really takes away from the lines on the car.

I would remove them, but its your choice of course. If you like them then keep them on.

You defend these things like you have high profile stocks riding on them...

PS. I think they are terrible looking.
