You have don't an amazing job, the amount of chrome is "just enough" to get your attention but not so much as it takes away from the car in anyway (of course you don't have bumpers on, so I am not sure what they will be). The car has an awesome presence; even if you did know it had a new hemi in it, it has a "new car" or "new model" look to it; in other words it looks like you could go and buy one off a lot now.

Congratulations

Right now the fender louvers look out of place, but I guess if the bumpers are chrome it will look better :2cents:
