Swapped to the rest of world spec chrome bumper strips to completely delete the dumb extra North American bumper lights. I know that every person who has made their Volvo 240 look like a brand new and vastly sportier vehicle by dechroming is thinking I'm just nuts. I don't care, I'm 37 years old.

Chrome actually looks good, I think it helps clean up the front without those cornermarkers.

I guess if you could make an exception on my black wheels I could make an exception on that there chrome. But seriously, I like it. However this only applies to this specific case. All other cases of the chrome disease must still fear me and my can of plasti-dip.

I have no problem with YOUR black wheels... I just dislike Black Columbas, Black Perfos, Black Pegs etc...

They (VS) wax their cars? I thought the lastest craze was to wrap them in viynl so the paint is flat. At least thats what won the IPD show.

Silver + Chrome = Win
No matter how many times you check the math, there's no disputing it.
...White may also be substituted in the equation, when certain astronomical feats occur.

Yes but mainly because "old" and "37" do not belong in the same sentence.
45. That's old.

No.. you're old when your wheels become 16" with 205/60-16 all seasons and you have one of those beaded wood seat covers..and a AAA sticker on your bumper.

i think adding fake fender vent is something an "old" person does. thats the only item i cant get used to. it seems out of place. especially when your following the fender lines then BOOM fake fender vent cuts into view. also since the angle of the vent is different than the metal of the fender and door around it the shadowing/hue/color i dunno what to call it just makes it seem like its out of place

I like my fender vent. I may just go ancient on you and do running boards and a lit windshield visor.
