Not as bad as i was expecting. When you said chrome lining, I was expecting to see a '90 civic with a giant wing and flame stickers down the side with the chrome all along the wheel wells and doors.

Looks nice, the Galant Fortis in Japan actually has a chrome bottom grille also.



The photoshop looks weird though, doesn't really go well together.

Only problem I see is that the 2 side parts are too thin compared to the top, throws it up just a little, the top and bottom look great though.

Sorry man, I don't really like it. You could do something different andblack out the emblem and original chrome piece. But that extra chrome piece to me just makes the mouth look funny.

The Chrome gives it a little bit more of a finished look IMO. Like a luxury car look, or the Fortis that someone already posted.
