For full features; Go to would you chrome your ride?

Hi all! Does anyone else here think that chroming a ride ( a fast car would be nice..) is a cool thing? And is it legal anyways? Never gotten around to finding out but I know it'd probably cost a bomb! Cheers..   dc_zhen

Ive seen it done on a few cars, its certainly unique but its just obnoxious

Ive also seen one of these in person, have pix of it somewhere, but the whole car was polished to a bright chrome finish, and the stripes were polished to a matte "brushed aluminum" look

It certainly looks cool on this car:

But that is just a concept....   Mathew

looks good... as long as it's on a nice car, a straight car, and a clean car.   windsonian

And not in a dull and dreary place like England. Wouldn't the car blind other road users when the sun hits them?   fudge

Looks very much like...

...all look similar. Long bonnet, seating just above the rear axle, low profile roof etc.... Its called a sports car. You two should meet sometime. :wink2:


There is absolutely nothing you can do to a Bugatti Veyron, including chroming the entire body, that would make that car any more obnoxious. It wouldn't matter if it was painted bright pink with a rainbow on the back of it you would instantly envy the bastard who owned it.   DSMer
