Absolutely, each person has their own tastes and options. As far as chrome for me, I can't stand it, I hate it, looks cheap, cheesy, tacked on, bland... I hate it! Personally, I have a lot of bad experience with chrome. I am a heavy truck technician professionally, so believe me, I know trucks and truckers love their chrome. As for me, all it does is get in my way of doing my job! Chrome does have it's place, here and there. I think chrome is just a plain shinny surface with no colour or thought or style to it, it's just chrome. Guys that plaster their trucks or cars with chrome seem like they are fish or something that are only attracted to shiny things! I think there is more style and flare something that has more thought into it and some colour, other than chrome! No matter how much or little chrome there is on a vehicle it still looks the same no matter where or how you look at it, looks empty, like you didn't know what else to do!

I say the less chrome the better! Chrome is for old school cars. The worst part are those big chrome pieces on the sides of the car

looks like somebody drove that thing through tacky-town with a $hit magnet! I threw up a little bit in my mouth!

That is a members car on here. I remember keeping my mouth shut when it was posted. Being that it's on a lot now I guess they traded it in on something else.

I thought those decals looked familiar.

WTF!? that looks horrible. just because some one makes some chrome pieces, does not mean that they are all meant to go on the same car! someone needs to be fired.
