Default Your opinion please....

so i have a silver/grey lex.**see my sig pic** and heres the idea i had. thinkn of painting all the chrome on the car black, black roof, black rims with lips painted to matchn the color of the car. I may have the color lightened a few shades (mercedes silver/grey) so i dont have to do the door jams but my question is more how is the black instead of chrome gonna look?

thanks guys

I think that it's going to look a bit off. I would try photoshop first before pulling the trigger on this idea.

i wouldn't do it. the belt line on the gs is low compared to cars of today. if you black out the chrome the belt line will look even lower. make it look all bubbled out n ugly.
