    Agreed, I know if I had a dark color I'd be spending lots of $$$$ on the chrome bits.... I do like chrome on the right car, against the right color...

    Works pretty darn well with this dark blue.

    Here's my dipped r50 chrome grille, only did 5 coats and it has lasted all the rock chips and me scrubbing bugs off for the last year. Still looks new. The grill is as easy as taping paper behind it and around the grill

    Yup but you also left the chrome accents so it has a flow to it. Everything blacked out would have been a little too much.

    There is just enough chrome for it to pop and really stand out.

    As I was walking to my car last night, I instantly decided I'm going to leave the belt line alone. In the dark, that single chrome bit really pops with the wheels.

    Thanks, but that is a 2008 version. Looks a lot different now.
