What Do You Think - Too Much Chrome?

Hello Again,

I have added Chrome vent covers, front grills, front light and fog surrounds. The lights at the rear have chrome surrounds also.

What do you think and be honest.....

In one word, "yes".

It's not that bad though. Might look better in real life...

Makes me think of what some of the US manufacturers are doing with the retro look on their cars.

Normally it would on a dark color but on the silver it's very subtle...

I normally don't like much bling, but I added the chrome surrounds on my rears, only. I posted it here, and most folks agreed they didn't like it. I still do, so I kept it! I have to say that I like yours everywhere except the fog surrounds...just too much solid expanse of chrome there.

None of which really matters. What does matter is if you like it. If so, forget what all the rest of us say, and rock on with it!

I'm personally not crazy about the combo but I guess it gets a pass since you're a female. Bling tends to look better on the tender gender imo...I agree that the silver blends in better with the chrome though...to each his/her own.

Oh, and niiice sig...

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Not so sure about the fog surrounds.

Yes. I think chrome with silver is a little overkill. But it would look good on any Friday night at the clubs!!!
