Need Opinions: Chrome Gutter Trims. Yes Or No?

[e70van]

Hope i set this poll up ok! (noob)

 

 

Anyway I'm repainting my car (same colour) and i have sourced some chrome gutter trimming for it. trying to decide if i should get it and put it on.

 

here is my car now, without it. (i marked all the other chrome sections on the car) I'm trying to work out if the chrome guttering trim will tie in well with the rest of the chrome.

 

excuse my ms paint skillz..

What this bloke said, couldn't have hit the nail any harder. Nice glossy metallic brown and straight chrome to contrast is the thing :yes: I just polished up all the chrome on my red ae71 and it looks too hot to touch.

Do it by all means but just one question.

Where the hell did you source chrome gutter trim?

I've been told it's rarer than rocking horse shit!

Still in two minds. I'm now thinking about not putting the gutter trimming on and blacking out the chrome around the front windscreen only.. too many chrome trims, surrounds look a bit dorky i think! not the look I'm going for on my car.
