thanks for answers,i think i want to do all in chrome,but then i have to order chrome grille,mirrors and bumpers from usa,thats hell of a shipping cost.... :O
But what can we say, having a car,spesially a american car,when all the parts is very hard to come by here in norway, so you have to order them from america is very expencive!!!

Chrome was good in the early years, now it's all about colour matched or black.

Do yourself the favor and black the accent pieces out or colour match them.

you have to have ballence, if you have it all blacked out but one or 2 little things, chromed, it will look stank... but same if it's all chrome except black bumpers... ghey... you need to have a good ballence, although red, chrome and black all looks good together
