There's probably some chrome wheel lovers that think it's great.

Maybe the fact that they went out of style 20 years ago. Black lost their appeal when every soccer mom's SUV starting wearing them.

If you delete the huge badge, I like the grille better than the stock unit.
Perhaps not in chrome though.
Of course being a midi engine car, it doesn't need a grille anywhere near that large, but faux grilles are done by a lot of respected automakers...

Well the fake stacks are as functional as the engine covers.... and those wheels could be in highly polished native aluminum and not actually chrome and that logo on the grill is 20 hp...
