I love classic cars, even old cars 'rejuvenated' - as long as they remain faithful to the original.
Stylish cars decked & chromed is just wrong. It's disrespectful, sacrilege almost!

Very true Antix old cars freshened up can have a huge impact but i agree chrome can be an overkill but also at the same time some chrome can work really well imo
