I have got to agree....but be carefull it can be more addicting (and expensive) than crack!

Honestly the chrome decals as BS...they wont last long at all (its something to do with the material the chrome is made out of....its much less flexible than the colored material.) I change my chrome "RAM AIR" decals every 3 or 4 months because the tips of the letters start to stick up. Go with the stainless overlays Matt at emblempros.com sells and you will be very pleased you did!

Gotta have some chrome or polished (lip, at the very least) wheels on a pewter car... Gives it some classiness. Photoshopped some all-black Firehawks on a pewter TA and it didn't look great, IMO. Chrome + pewter for the win!.
