Chrome Fenders

So what's the deal with all the hate on the chrome fenders on the BRZ. Sure on a bunch of colors it looks tacky but i think it looks good on the blues and black.

Now that gas sticker on the other hand...shame on Subaru...

each individual has their own perception of things. Something you like, I might hate. It's just how it is.

i would like to have it on my WRB BRZ if it doesn't cost $70 for a pair of plastic. I think the chrome adds a touch of higher class to the car.

I think chrome always looks tacky, but to each their own.

I dig 'em on mine. Normally I'd be on the chrome hate boat as well, but the plain black plastic with the bare paint line looks weird to me. Unfinished sorta.
