Its very shiny...
As long as you don't get 20in chrome rims, and the chrome gas door, I guess it won't be too bad.

I think a lot of what im seeing is the way the camera takes the picture and the way it shows up on my work computer, but the gaps dont look even bettween all the bars!

You picked a good color if you like chrome, it always goes good with black.

Did you fab that up yourself? or modify some kind of grill from another car, the work looks pretty good!

Did you remove the black screen from the MS bumper? or is this infront of that!

And pics of the rest of the car, or is the rest just stock?

IMO, it's a little bit too much chrome and shine, I like chrome but you went too far... not my thing. And I also don't like the tint of the front window... but hey!!, as long as you like it, it's cool!! Would like to see side and rear pics af the car...

Not really feeling this mod.

Looks to be a bit "too much" bling.


As long as you like it, that's all that matters though.

Others here have a similar mod, and it looks great. Could be the pic. Close the doors and take a side shot, repost to compare.
