That would make for some nice poetic justice, when someone's blasting you with their high beams. :smokin:

Thumbs up crazzzzzzzzzzzy

That looks awesome.... hahaha... all that chrome looks tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggght. That would be crazy to have a car like that. I love it! I am in love with the Mercedes itself... that reminds me I gotta borrow it from my friend... one of these days. His is a silver color. (but imagine chrome man... u'd be definitely an outcast from many millions of cars) I can check myself out... when i get off the car! I want a car like that... I'll buy it when i win the lotto!

Everyone thinks it's all cool until the car starts driving up to people and saying "Have you seen this boy?"

Doubt it cost that much... how much do you think it is to chrome a bumper??? then multiply that by how many peiced/body parts from the car there are... and you have your answer... think of it as a paint job... just not paint... buuut... if i'm correct your cars body has to be sheet metal or some kind of metal and not fiber glass...

but damn... thats awsome... who here is going to be the first to chrome their Acura??? that'll be awsome...

That isn't really chrome its a new type of paint that is very hard to apply properly. I have seen a few cars finished with it, of course there was the Chrome Jag, but that was to promote the aluminum body or something along those lines. I have seen a HORRIBLY executed chrome painted mustang(circa 2002) and a VERY clean E46 M3- there is also a chrome A8L owned by a wealthy individual in the middle east. I'll try to find some pictures, the M3 and A8 looked good the rest was rubbish at best.

No, but its easily upwards of 25K. Still a hell of a lot for a paint job.

THe Jag and Audi are just polished Aluminum, not really a chrome paint job.

guys this doesnt make the car weight more.. thats what i thought at first.. i figured that they took the car apart and dipped it in chrome and all. but one day i was watching tv that OVERHAUL show.... and they got this foam football about 4 inches in lenght. and the guy was explaining how they can CHROME ANYTHING!!!!!!!! plastic, metal, rubber, i mean ANYTHING!!! and its now a spray.. just as if you were painting the car. just make pretend you want to do a paint job on your car but you want chrome. and bamm its done.. But its not everyone that has it. Its rare to find still.
