TGGRRR (Ali) Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 ugh, that's a lotta chrome. Did you see the note that too much chrome is actually illegal in many states? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68wmcs Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 ugh, that's a lotta chrome. Did you see the note that too much chrome is actually illegal in many states? I don't know if it was posted here, but someone actually had a MINI Cooper painted chrome for his wife but was illegal in whatever country/state they are in.

cmcveay Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Coming from me, this will shock everyone by why all the hate at chrome? It's got it's place in the world! You'll notice I've never used the term "murdered out" and that kind of thing, I just choose to remove the chrom from my car but I can, and do appreciate and recognize the fact that done in moderation, chrome can work. I loved it when I opened the hood on my 72 Chevy Nova, 72 GMC Pick up, 63 Chevy Pick up and yes, even my 77 CJ-7 with their chrome valve covers, polished aluminum intakes and all kinds of "bling" under the hood. So be nice to the folks who like their chrome and let's just respect our differences. Besides, if everyone got rid of their chrome, we'd all look the same and then it would be "MEification" instead of "YOUification"... 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobesser Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I dunno, I kinda like it. What about the Delorian? It was Stainless Steel - not too far off from an all chrome car. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
