    To shadowling or not?

    I really like the way the tinted windows and thin chrome work with the Nagaro/polished wheels. But I have all the trim pulled off right now, and if I'm going to shadowline it the time is now. I'm curious, what does R3v think? (note: I'm not gonna paint it. I like it chrome. Just curious what you all think :) )

        Man, I dunno about that one.

        If the trim is in good shape, it is fine in chrome.

        My cars trim was so scratched and oxidized I had to do something, so it got painted.

        I don't care for chrome on red though, and I love black and red!

          I don't like shadowline typically but sometimes it works. On red and white I think it can go either way. Everything else chrome.

            Does the car still have chrome kidneys? Chrome kidneys + shadowline + polished/brushed lip = win.

            Case in point...

              I would shadowline it personally. I think it sticks out too much.

                leave it I like how it looks. If you do anything. I would just do the lower trim and leave the drip rail.

                        After comparing the two cars above, I have to say that I like the chrome MUCH better!

                              Shadowline it with Plasti-Dip. Then you can put it on your car, look at it for a week, and if you still think you like chrome better, you can just pull/peel the dip off. You likely won't, though, it looks 10x better. Pictures can't really do it proper justice.

                              What percentage is your tint?
