I like the taillights better with the chrome, oddly enough. But I do like the front. It's a good change of pace to see a gloss finish as opposed to the normal plasti-dip.

Great stripes too!

the 2 on each side of the car, would tie in nicely with the wheels and mirror bases
but i just said get rid of the hook, unless you get stuck on daily/monthly bases, i dunno, kinda kills the lines sticking out there for no reason.
