Ya the front looks way better than the back. If I were you, I would continue the strip all the way across the taillight, but then it might not fit with the reverse lights.

I personally wouldn't do this to my car, but if you like them then keep them. It's your car!

I don't like it. Chrome just looks good on certain area of the car. I would leave the car alone.

Not a big fan of chrome except for subtle trimming and chrome wheels

I think the back would be better if the chrome were above the license plate and below the emblem, just like some of the cars out there on the road now.

For the front, it makes it look like it has the audi DRL lights. You might want to try what some other people have done and put the chrome across the side holes of the bumper (on the ribs of the vent cover). Also, you might want to try putting it inside the front grille (above and below the emblem).

I'm not a fan of chrome, but there are alot of people out there that do like it. I mean, if Acura puts more and more chrome on their cars every generation (ie: 1G TSX to 2G TSX), then there must be a market out there for chromed vehicles.
