chrome car

Wouldnt it be cool to have a chrome car? **** waxing!

I think it would be sweet to have a chrome thirdgen with blacked out windows and black highlights

Think of how many heads youd turn.

It would be very bright to look at, I'm sure it would attract lots of attention too! I remember a while back there was a 1st gen Camaro on ebay with a chrome front end; hood, fenders, the whole front was chrome and the rest was yellow. It would have been better if it was all chrome. How much would it cost to chrome an entire car ?

I slightly polished my car when I was sanding it down to metal. At an angle it looked pretty sweet, with the exception of the gfx and bumpers. It would make a great show car, but I wouldn't want to drive the car since it would cost waaaaaaaayyy to much to repair if it got damaged and plus the cops would be all over you for excessive shine or somthing dumb sounding like that.

yea i can see keeping it as a show car but still you have to pull it on a trailer or something to get it to the show so your blinding everyone on the toll road as you make your way to the show.

I saw this sweet Jag back in January at the NAIAS in D-town just like you're describing and I snapped a pic, but its too big to load up. One of the tightes rides there, next to the Enzo Ferrari and the Rolls. Jaguar reps were constantly wiping the car down and polishing it.

If I remember correctly, they used some chrome pickups in the opening ceremonies for the 96 summer olympics.
