Door pillar chrome...
I keep seeing all of these threads about people sanding/painting/buffing their black door pillars because for some reason they like to start looking like crap after about 6-12 months. I was thinking about what if you chromed these two pieces between each door instead... anyone tried that? think it would be a good idea? shoot some suggestions my way

IMO chrome belongs on 60's era and earlier muscle/classic cars and choppers NOT on an Acura TL, less chrome is better and that includes the rims too

well the photoshopping came out shitty as hell so I won't even waste you all's time in showing it to you... someone with some better skills then selecting the area and using eye candy's chrome will have to do it

so it helps nothing at all.
