While at a junk yard i saw something on a firebird that I want to add but i don't remember what they are called.
it was above the tires on the panel and was silver.

Here is a picture of my car. And the part circled in white is what i am talking about.

 

fender trim?

 

ARE YOU GOIN TO PUT THAT CHROME ORNAMENTS ??????

 

probably fender trim....

 

Fender Flares maybe, not my taste though, but its your car not mine.

 

Yea the fender trim. Not my thing at all, but if that's what you like go for it.

 

I think it would be called wheel well trim.

 

I think most call it CRAP!!!!

there is a sysmetry that each car has when the designers create automobiles... by putting other items on our cars or any other you disturb the balance and the car starts looking like a fridge with too many magnets on it....

keep it looking stock... if you want to stand out... make it from a sweet paint job, not from making your car look like a christmas tree with too many ornements on it.

my 2 cents...

 

Ahh thats ugly thing lol
I installed that on a brand new lexus LS 400 (4 yrs ago)
It costs like 100 $ max
Its Ugly.. fits like crap.. looks cheap.
That guy had issues....

 

Its called tacky.

 

well.... i agree it is pretty tacky, but, i have seen it where it does look good(not chrome like black) and although i wouldnt do it to my car it looks alright.

 

I am compelled to throw in my $.02 here. Chrome fender flares on any vehicle looks cheap and ghetto. They serve no purpose and look like @$$!!!

/End rant

 

It's right up there next to the cheesy door chrome trim designed to protect against damage to the edge of the doors. It bothers me when I see perfectly good vehicles ruined with that crap. I have also found that such vehicles are usually equipped with a last name in the Old English font written on the back window.

I would also like to say that it is your vehicle and you have to live with it. Not me.

 

in defense of this post ill say i did see an Alcamino (sp?) and it had the chrome trim and it looked really good. it looked stock and it was pretty wide. it was around the wheel wells. if i have time ill snap a pic of it.

 

I'd like to ask the designers what the excuse behind the berlinetta's was. "starship camaro"...um.. no

 

In certain applications, it's not bad. It just looks out of place on newer automobiles. Back in the mid 80's, I had a '78 Chevy Nova Cabriolet that came with those, and it looked great. The car also had chrome bumpers, chrome window trim, etc... but it was an older car. Slap those puppies on a car that doesn't have an ounce of factory designed chrome trim on it, and they sort of stick out like a turd in a punchbowl.....
