Chrome or reflective overlays?

I'm thinking of getting a front plate overlay and rear PONTIAC fill ins.

I was thinking of going with a chrome or reflective silver, something that would compliment my polished wheels.

Anyone have them and have any pics? Also, where did you get them?

Or does anyone have any other suggestions on what color would look good on a NBM car? I was also thinking a light charcoal grey or dark silver might look nice.

Thanks!!

I love my chrome emblems on my black car. I think chrome looks great against dark colors. One of the members on here sells them on ebay. Actual emblems, not overlays.

Sounds interesting. Do you have any pics? Also, where did you get them, and how much, if you don't mind me asking? PM me if non-sponsor.

Thanks!

I have them on the fenders too, but the pic came out CRAPPY, so not worth posting up.

Threw these on to match. Just an additional thought. Next are the CAMARO letters and a nose emblem/billet grill.

Stay as far away from "chrome" vinyl overlays as possible. The material the "chrome" is made out of is thicker than regular vinyl (or at least it seems to be) and the corners are extreamly easy to peal up on it. I had them on mine for about a month and they started to look like ****. I went with the Stainless overlays from muffinbuster and couldnt be happier with them. I have the bird, the "Trans Am" emblems and the rear fillins. I do still have the "chrome" vinyl "ram air" decals on the hood though (the stainless one are raised and I cant stand that) and I have to change them every couple months....and keep in mind I dont even drive my car!

Now I do have black overlays on my wife's BSM TA and they have last and looked fine for 6 months.
