Yeah Mikochu, you are right. Maybe we should call you columbo.

All the hot rod shows talk about their chrome work (on the engine) and how their favorite shop did it for them. I don't doubt it is easy to go out and have someone dip my handles for me.

When my body shop finished my xB they joked,,,,, "Yeah, we got your handles back on,..the ones that don't match and never did from the factory. We even had to go over to Toyota and look at a TCM on their lot to make sure something hadn't gone wrong while we painted yours...."

I'm off tomorrow to find a chrome dude!

The chrome on the side skirts and doors looks custom or JDM or something.

For $700 you'd think they could spring for the chrome mirror covers.

if i was doing a stripe it would be a bubble bee stripe just like on dodges from the late 60's to early 70's (aka the scat pack the cars with the bumblebee stripes)

and i would get it done in yellow on my BCP

Has anyone seen this in person? Because that actually looks good, the chrome pieces not the stripes. The stripes don't look good at all, even if it was on a lava. But the chromes pieces look cool and would work great for people with chrome wheels.
