Well i got bored the other day and went to the local auto store and paid $10.70 for the chrome door trim and chromed out my 1st gen grill. What do you guys think?

 

They sell that same stuff on ebay, for about twice what you paid. I don't like it. It looks cheap and fake, maybe not from a distance. The real chrome looks sooo much better. If you look at the top & bottom of the grill they're all different lengths.

 

i'm not a big fan of chrome grills but if it floats your boat - go for it. yeah- from a distance it probably looks great but up close the edges look a little crooked. no biggie though - just redo a few of them and you'll be good.

 

yeah, i know what you guys are talking about, i have mixed feelings about it too.

 

I'm not a fan of chrome grills because it focuses all the attention on the grill and not the rest of the car.

 

Hey GreatnesS,
Post a few overall pics of your car, to see how it looks in the complete sense. As long as your car is moving, no one will know your secret, but as soon as you park it, some A-hole for sure will be examining it with a fine tooth comb and then the gig is up! After a while, they're probably going to start to lift and the clear film on top will start to peel and it will look crappy. I used some of that edging to edge the gas tank on one of my motorcycles, looked good at first until the heat started to make it peel....

 

It looks good but I think black would look better.

 

here is a pic from about 10 feet out

 

Hey, this may be a little off topic but how do you get the pictures into the thread??

 

i think it brings too much attention to your grill.

It's almost like a rapper with iced out teeth!

Wut Wut!
