It's yesterdays look. A little bling tastefully done looks much hotter. Chrome the strakes, the grill, and leave the wing alone (not sure if you meant your Needwings intake or your spoiler) either way, leave it alone. If you have the cash put some Giovanni or other art work wheels on it.

YOU ASKED, MAX

P.S. you can't really chrome those items but you can get overlays
I think he means the Chrysler wing emblems on the hood and tailgate.
I saw a matte black BMW the other day and it looked good, but I am sure that if it was mine I would get bored with it pretty quick and get out the Porter Cable and start polishing.
A little chrome, not the wheels, goes a long way.
