I already get enough looks like "you're just a pretentious SOB". With the chrome I'd feel they were right. Just my opionion but the initial posting did ask for feedback.

why you say that. i think of chrome as downgrading.
chrome trim around windowns, chrome grille, chrome this chrome that, just looks retarted...

all blacked out porsche would get more looks than ghetto'd out chromed out one....well actually depends on where you drive it. if you drive it in the ghetto you may get thubs up and get shot at the same time haha

Please dont do it!! It makes the car look cheaper, well it just doesnt look good on any porsche. Chrome looks good on porsche in a very very rare ocation with some extraordinary setup of wheels, body kit and so on

I guess I look at it like calling attention to yourself excessively. In my opinion, chrome is just too much in this application. Now I have nothing against chrome when it is in the right place. A Porsche just does not need to cry out for attention with bling.
