here is a pic of my car.... im digging the ALL black.....

front valence is a GT valence with oil cooler opening...
Rear is a 914/6 deep valance with dual portholes....

tell me what you think....

give me some guidance....

Go for all black. Definitely. I'm not really that big of a fan of chrome on dark colored 914s. Black out all the chrome trim, put rubber around the windshield

im trying to do the window rubber, but my window was already installed.
ahndy says i can do it with a little butyl seal...

Chrome without tits and no fog lights.
I know thats not in your poll but that would be my choice.

aint got no money to weld up and rechrome....

and car is getting GT lights mounted down in the bumper, in addition to pilot fogs...

I think some nice chrome bumpers would look awesome with that nice deep black paint.

I would go with blacked out look but since that is what I am doing to mine I say you keep the chrome and the titties.

New chrome, no tits.

black out the driving light grills too!!

As much black as you can...

I would however say chrome wheels.

Rich

I say you chrome your titties

Aaron........

And black chrome.....

Maybe free... but no more than 100 bucks.

No tits... cause you already got em... Under your shirt..

whats black chrome?

clayton. phone fixed.call me

Chrome no titties.

Chrome. Can use the nickel-coated or stainless carriage bolts until you have money or inclination to weld and rechrome.

BTW, where'd you source the deep rear valance?

Chrome is more durable

Not sure I've ever seen the chrome bumper with the GT opened valence

painted is a nice look, though I would think you wouldn't want to deal with all the road rash a painted front bumper is going to get.

just GT valence.... so, half that opening

I think chrome would look better, but, since your on a budget... Igotanidea.

Paint 'em black, no titties. Now, for an extra little bit, since you're painting anyway, weld up the fog light holes while you're doing the tit holes. I think it would be cool; steel bumper, all welded up smooth.

Gotta keep the fogs eh? Weld up the rectangular holes and make round holes just big enough for the lamps.

Do something different!

Go with the gloss black, rubber windshield trim...black everything except for wheels that are chromed beyond belief. That would be crazy PHAT.

different are these hella driving lights...like the GT cars.... and retaining stock location pilot lights.....

All black for a race car, chrome bumper on a streeter.

Those are monsters and it wouldn't really be different. I'm talking about a round hole in the steel bumper just a little bigger than the Pilot lamps.

found a pic of black chrome... not sure it represents well

Imagine a piece of black transparent Saran wrap stretched seamless across a chrome bumper. That's pretty much what black chrome will look like. Not quite as reflective as chrome, and not as much black as paint. It could look totally cool....

doesnt sound so pleasing

black chrome would look really cool, mirrors and door handles would need the same treatment.
I currently have a black car with a chrome bumper and gt valance but I have been wrestling with the idea of painting the car signal orange.

mirrors and trim are staying.....

running out of time.... and money

Black Chrome no boobies.

Not to change the subject, but I want close-ups of those rear flares, from several angles!

if you pass up the offer on the black chrome bumpers you need to go back to school and have your head examined.

I like the black chrome idea. And beer!

Paint it black you devil..........


You can always change to chrome later.....


and here's 10 min of my time....the money you will have to get on your own.

I think with the bumpers you would have a cool look with all black, but again the black and chrome looks cool. Quandry

Black...Black...Black! Ditch the chrome!

it only takes 20 min to swap a set of bumpers.... hmmmm

i think the black chrome would be cool IF and ONLY IF, mirrors, targa chrome were all done....


what to do what to do......

Chrome, no tits.


Your car looks great

As far as the bumpers... Stick with what you have. Just prep em and paint em gloss black... wait a couple of months and then we goof with the black chrome or powder coating or hot pink or whatever Slits forces you to do....
Save your bucks for now... Just do whats cheap and pleasing to you....

I agree!

I say have both, I plan too.
Black gt bumper, and a chrome one that I already have.
The black gt bumper will start to look bad with stone chips in no time.
Could possably have the 3m film process done to it?

aye.... rock chips
