çhrome line interior and exterior for me.

Hey, anybody notice the chrome vents that replace the plastic ones at the base of the windscreen that Outmotoring has. I'm thinking they may just be a bit of overkill but I'm not terrible fond of the plastic ones either.

Hell yes, chrome on Jet Black is the best!



I'm another person who has been tempted to add more chrome, but afraid to put the look over the top... one day I'll definately add chrome windshield washer nozzles at least.

I thought about blacking her out every now and then, but I love the chrome look too much.

In a world where black-out is the rule, I never thought I'd see this. I am HOME!


I retro-fitted the interior chrome except for the speedo ring. Bonnet stripes have chrome edges.

davavd I am glad you are happy! So where are those side scuttles from? Do you think they make them for r50? Love the flat black with chrome pins on your stripes.

I have to admit I was skeptical about chrome initially; our car was a pre-configured one already on the boat and had the chrome interior package (with piano black interior accents as well). I was not sure how I would like it, but now I think it really adds a nice touch to the interior.

So yeah, unless you go overboard, count me in the chrome appreciation society.

I have a stock BRG JustACooper & I think the chrome is just the right amount without being overstated. It accentuates the curves and who doesn't like curves?

That being said, some of the black-outs mods here are awesome too!

PS: Capt'n Jack pictures in my gallery, the chrome looks great with BRG, IMHO.

I'd like the Aero Grille, but chromed to go on my 02 Pure Silver MCS. I think that'd look really cool and go with my ASA AR2 rims.

Count me in!

Here's mine

I'm thinking about a chrome hood scoop (to replace my current one which is already starting to sag ). Whatdoyou think?

Hey Riffster- The chrome grills on ours came as part of a package... chrome line exterior. I have seen the chrome grills for sale though. MiniMania? I don't remember... but I know I've seen them for sale from several places. Maybe check out the Marketplace. There could be a "black-out" lover trying to sell their bling!

What is that chrome bar that runs across the bottom in the front? I saw it on someone else's too. I like it. Where do I get one?
