Just take out your stock one and paint it chrome.

But I don't really like it, just my .02

Looks like ****. Not sure you'd spend money on that thing. If you really want chrome then paint your own.

i think its alright depending on the colour of ur car, paint ur own, it will look the same, cause thats probly what those guys did anyways

would look good on a black or white car, not beige or red...

If your car is sterling mist, maybe it would look good. Other than that, it's going to appear similar to the Trenz grill as far as color contrast, etc.

It's strange. I liked chrome before I joined this site, and now I hate it.

Say no to peer pressure kids

Thats because us newer guys are younger... and WE LOVE BLING!!!!

I was actually looking at that grille the other day... my car IS sterling mist and I was thinking about some chrome rims and that grille.... I've allready got the clear corner and taillights, chrome washer nozzels (which looks awsome) ... chrome on the Sterling Mist is BEAUTIFULL...so... It all depends on the look you want....

Not true, I'm probably one of the youngest members on the .org being 17 almost 18. I think chrome looks miserable on just about everything, there are few that chrome looks good on, but just about on zero maximas.

Again just my .02, it's your car, I'm not going to tell you how to mod it.

I agree with markd as well. I'm not an old member. Just because we're not newbs doesn't make us all old. But I do agree that age is connected to chrome, and so is style. I hate chrome and think it looks awful when overused. Chrome doesn't go with anything but black IMO. That's all my style. Many guys think it looks good and I can't understand what they are thinking. It's all mind set. That's why I feel these questions should not be posted on the org. What is the point? You're just asking for a feud on other peoples preferences. It's your car, why have everyone else tell you what they want you to put on the car? Sorry it's late and I've been studying for 5 hours...I'm on edge haha

I'd say chrome is fine if you like it. it's your whip. Just slap a stock one on there. I'll give that fleabay chrome grill 2 weeks before rocks start chipping at it.

I think that GXE / GLE models have a good amount of chrome on them i love the door handles especially

The grille is done exceptionally well, look at luxury cars like the Q45 or any other luxury sedan, dont they look more 'classy' with crome grills and chrome trim around the windows ? Tint on any colour max with chrome looks good i think

too much chrome is bad though, like the 91 buick regal i sed to own

just my opinion

I'm kind of young still but I'm definitely not a fan of chrome.
