Has anyone else thought about taking the grill and the fog light holders and getting them chromed in blk. I think it would be damn sweet to see.

probably would be. also, maybe a black foam mesh so you can't see the radiator as clearly from the front.

can you chrome plastic? might get the same effect just painting it glossy black? im thinking about powder coating or anodizing the factory wheels black what do yall think?

Was wondering the same thing about the tail lamp bezels, especially for dark colors like IBM. I planned on using a vinyl overlay to darken it up a bit to see if I liked it. If so I could make it permanent.
