Funny because I always go in the opposite direction. Just ditched my chrome door handles for flat-black ones, still need to swap locks and ignition though.
That said, if you do it right as an accent it will look good, especially with your wheels. |

definitely get the chrome fender lips and door trim
just playing, you can look into Chrome emblems like Al has on his purple car. They look tasteful.

Mine aren't chrome, but close enough. Polished aluminum, hard to find now since the e-Bay seller doesn't participate any more. I heard he took his business off e-Bay and does pretty good - I forget the new name though.
See if your friend doing your grille could fab up some emblems for you  _________________ 92 Camaro

I know to each their own, but unless you're car has chrome bumpers I have a great idea, don't put chrome on your car..... _________________ E30

You need something like these. Each letter and bow-tie is a separate piece cut from billet aluminum, then polished. In this picture, I need to clean up the area where these are mounted.
