    Don't like the chrome at all , I am glad mine does not have any. It's just a matter of what you like.

    I don't understand the rabid anti-chrome actions, but to each his own.

    Ah yes, all the pre-1970's classics full of chrome... very millennial

    or are you saying hating chrome is millennial?

    Yup totally. I'm actually paying to have my OEM chrome bumper replated chrome. But it's a 91...

    It's all about time frame. Sure I could slap a bunch of black shit on her. It would be wayyy cheaper. But on a truck from 91? Chrome rules.

    When I was a kid in the 70s, a car with black wheels meant only one thing: the hubcaps fell off. Looked bad, and meant you had steel wheels. Now, I love black wheels, trim, and do not prefer chrome at all. It's all preference though.

    Millennials are old now. Zoomers are what most people think about when they say millennials

    I just picked it up a couple of days ago so future mods are in still in the planning stages.
    I like chrome in places where chrome should be like on older vehicle parts, tools, plumbing fixtures and Patton's helmet but not on my truck. I especially dislike chrome on plastic.

    Some vehicles I love chrome. I don't care for chrome on my Taco because it is usually dirty. It all depends on what Ya like I guess.
