ya its chrome. its also running in front bumper too..but since the car is white colour the chrome does not pop out. But it would look great on a darker colour paint.
I was also thinking of doing chrome door handles but i know it wont pop out.

Haven't been online in a while, here's a list of changes in the last 6months or so to my 97 es:
Traded a subwoofer for d2 lowering springs waiting on struts to come
Bought a Avh x8500bhs double din, Jl audio mhd750/1 amp, mb quart 10 sub, and 4guage from battery to trunk.
Just replaced corner lights with clear ones, got tired of trying to find oe ones. Lights were broken and falling out, so $40 for a pair w/ bulbs wasn't bad.
Tinted windows
01 fog light retrofit into my bumper with 6k lights
Cleaned the interior, magic eraser does wonders followed by a leather conditioner.
Converted all interior lights to bright white leds.
Tried swapping out shift **** with a woodgrain one, but mounting screw holes didn't line up
Found a new exterior b pillar piece at the pick n pull. Extremely easy to remove without breaking once you figure it out. Just need a Phillips screwdriver, panel popper, and lots of patience.
That's all I can think of right now...

New front struts
New front struts; to match rear struts and springs 2 weeks ago. OMG, what a difference. Full post here:

I really can't say; I got the car used and the shocks were already worn, so I don't know the original feel intimately. I am working on a detailed a post about it and my impressions, part #'s, etc - I will post next week after I get the fronts in and can compare all around (if the front struts arrive by Friday; not sure yet - they are ordered).
I did notice after 50 miles or so, the springs seem to be settling a bit and the ride smoothed quite a lot. I like it and have NO complaints. I have an Audi V8 with H&R springs and Boge Turbo Gas. I find this MUCH smoother and supple than that.

I don't even remember how long I've had her but well over 10 years...recently detailed her myself, took out swirls and some light scratches. Replaced side pillars, fixed LCD screen and lights on the radio and installed 2500k yellow bulbs in the fogs. Hate the stock chrome it came with the car but I told myself I wouldn't mod this car as its been my daily. I've installed in the pass projector headlights and 00+ tail lights. Its a 1997 by the way.
