chrome stuff on black civic?
i was playin around with a pic i took a few months ago in photoshop... and added a few trim pieces i noticed on my dad's TL. i never really was a fan of chrome until i noticed those subtle pieces -- the grille, window trim, door handles, etc... and thought the civic would look pretty cool with some of em.
so anyway, i'm seriously considering doing these mods... it's probably going to involve a pain-in-the-*** removal of many parts -- who knows how to get at the plastic trim around the windows -- and ghetto-style chrome spray paint -- but damn it, it looks cool, doesn't it?!
BTW, the thing on the front fender by the door is a clear sidemarker i'm thinking about too... just wanted to see what that would look like with all the chrome...

bling-bling, baby! but yeah... i don't think it's too much... comments anyone?

looks cool - not my thing though, i'm doing the exact opposite, getting rid of chrome pieces. that makes your car look a bit like an acura TL though, i like. i just saw one last night that was NBP, with all the chrome and stuff, it was good. good luck with that.
i think it looks awesome.. cause i've seen that (chrome window trim) on my friends 6th gen 4door and its a nice subtle touch. and also on the accord coupes.. nice. thought i was alone in considering doing that, only the window trim.. but didnt want to bring it up... didnt feel like getting flammed. but yea.. go for it man.. wonder what it would look like on a EBP coupe though...
