Chrome should be used tastefully to make a statement about classic style, and, like all communication, subtle understatement is much more powerful and meaningful than exaggerated and superficial tackiness.
Roundish chrome mirrors are great on a vintage roadster, but
half of big rectangular SUV mirrors? Is that a statement about classic style? I don't think so.
I don't particularly like most chrome wheels either, perhaps on a 60s muscle car, but on a family FWD minivan-based SUV? The Pilot s just NOT a car that accepts bling well.
Actually, I don't even like the paint or finish on cars to be too shiny either. I want to see some deeper meaningful colors rather than squint because of all the reflected glare.
But, if you like it on your car, that's all that really matters. If your car expresses who you really are, then it's a beautiful car!
De gustibus et coloribus et blingichromibus non disputandum est.
