Personally, I've never liked Silver cars.

So with my bias known, I would say adding more chrome along the body wouldn't help.

You want your mods to stand out and if you just get more silvery things on a silver car, we're not looking at much more.

End of the day though its what you like... .

Check Luke's car as it has chrome handles and mirrors. http://clubcj.net/garage.php?mode=view_vehicle&CID=388

Looks good to me and Luke loves them.

Do what you like to your car not others.

I agree, silver is boring at best. Chrome isnt my thing either

I think the handles look good not so much the mirrors.

Matt silver + gloss silver is a good couple. They play well together. The question is what sort of perception your looking for?

I mean that many teens would hate this idea. Other would love it. I think that your own perception is most important. It will reflect your own self in your own car!

I personally wouldn't touch mirror covers, but handles should look good...

They're basically stick on pieces, you can save yourself the labour and do it yourself, if you're confident enough....
