Hey all,

So when I bought my 924, the previous owner's brother was telling me he wanted to chrome the front and rear bumper. Personally, I didn't think it'd look very good. But ever since, I have always wondered what it would look like. I was thinking it *might* look good if all of the trim was chromed also, including the hatch trim, and side view mirrors. Any one good at photo shop? I'd really love it if someone could whip that up.

What do you guys think? I know its kind of an outlandish idea, but I think it might work well with the pre- 80's cars.

Ryan

my buddy's 924s has matte black bumpers. they look pretty nice on it considering all the trim is matte black. I stripped the rear bumper on mine before I primed it and it looked absolutely goofy.

Well, like I said just a thought. I was thinking it would be a nod to the 914s in a way. I've just always felt the american 924 bumpers looked really thrown together. If this makes any difference, I had imagined it with the collapsed bumper shock modification both front and rear, and retain the bumperettes.

Here is a picture that would work, it's a little grainy though.

Excellent taste, sir.
I linked that image arlier in here in high-res from Pelican, so no problem.
Another image showing the rear would be nice?
…now all I have left to do is find the “Transform-to-Chrome-button”

I'll spend some time on it the coming weekend.
Regards, Harm.
