I like the grill chrome but the window chrome has got to go. I have gold rims and the chrome looks like S***.

Chrome on the sides are pretty subtle - at least it's not like some cars that have the chrome lining around all the windows.

- I'm not getting rid of the chrome pieces. I actually like the trim.

trade chrome for Black (GSR)

Are there any GSR owners out there that would like to trade their Black pieces for my chrome stuff off my MR?

No RalliArt comparisons with the MR nose? Lots of pretty chrome there.

The sides are pretty subtle. Looks better on gray, blue and red cars IMO.

No MR for me...I like Black on Black.

I like the chrome on my MR. Ask me again in a few years and I'm not sure if I'll answer the same.

I've got a 95 Tacoma that has the black where the Evo has chrome, and all that stuff has dried out in the sun, and has now cracked and is peeling off to reveal chrome-ish looking metal underneath. IMO, the Evo black will end up looking the same crappy way as the chrome. But maybe not.
