Firebird Lack Chrome I have been noticing that alot of parts on firebird are not sold in chrom aka door handels, gas tank, side body stripe above the firebird letters. And whats weird about it is they offer these parts therre usually decals. Anyone else getting frustrated over this or is chrome not the style?

There is a Trans Am around my area that has a lot of chrome moulding (such as door handles and around the wheel wells) and honestly it really cheapens the look of the car.

i actually LOVE chrome....it looks best on black or dark colored cars. yes if overdone...it could cheapen the look of the car...but done right looks insanely badass...i have chrome decals and stufff...howeverr i would NEVER do chrome door handles, or gas door...that would just look dumb and out of place! BUT...
if i had the money i would chrome EVERYTHING under the hood EVERYTHING!!!!
Chrome & Performance...im with you man

Less is more. If you want to accent it thats cool but don't go overboard. Chrome emblems are nice, but chrome molding and door handles would be silly. Do a little research and get a theme going don't just buy everything off the shelf that comes in chrome.
Accent is the key word through all of my sentences.
