go black cuz the chrome just sticks out too much. make only the grill black and leave everything how it is.

I actually like the chrome better unless you're going to strip and paint the chrome "eyebrow" that goes around the headlights and across the top.

If I paint it chrome ill leave the "eyebrow"(silver strip above the lights) chrome but if I paint It black ill change the strip
I really liked the chrome b/c it look so different than all the other 93's
If you liked the chrome heres what you need: All Dupli-color brand; instant chrome, Metalcast Ground coat and black glossy or etc. then adhesion promoter.
1. After sanding use adhesion promoter and wait bout 15 min.
2. Can skip this step but ive heard it helps some) Paint it w/ black paint
3. Now you can spray the ground coat wait about 30 min. and the use the chrome spray.

THATS IT COST: $10
* its should turn out better than this b/c I skiped some steps(in a hurry). So take your time and It will lokk great!
