Good for a show car but not for a DD. Just imagine him in a few weeks when he throws the 5 grand in the dumpster because the cool look wore off.

That seems like a lot of money for something that most likely will get old real quick. But it is his car and his money so who am I to say what he can do.

I really have no opinion on the "chromification" project, as it comes down to what strikes your fancy, on another hand, some of the reactions were highly enjoyable.
Here are my top 3:

Oh I see. You're under the impression that your car is an asset to be carefully maintained so as not to lose value.

Back in the real world we all know that simply isn't the case. I bought my car to enjoy, not to put 8 miles in 2 years like its 2nd owner did. Resale is insignificant if I'm not planning on selling it.

Yellow is great! You should try is sometime.
