When Ford created the retro styled Mustang, they did a masterful job capturing the performance, excitement and image of the original models from the late ‘60s and early’70s, but without any chrome on them. The chrome is not that popular today, but back than it was a must-have for every sport car or sedan. The rich look and deep shine of thick chrome on bumpers and trim parts was a fixture on cars of that era, but today almost every car wears nothing but paint and black trim.

Now, thanks to Retro USA, you can separate your car from the ordinary grocery getters and make your modern muscle machine look more like its forebears, with brilliant, shiny chrome! They have created Chrome Kit that can become the ultimate nostalgic makeover for your Mustang. It includes front and rear bumpers, rocker panel Moldings and quarter Moldings. All parts are easily installed with 3M™ attachment tape and sold separately.







Fitment Notes: Will NOT fit California Special, Shelby GT, or Shelby GT 500 models.

Plus now you can save cash on the purchase of shiny chrome tuning parts by Retro USA with our special offer!



We realize it's not everyone’s cup of tea. But let us know what do you think about it?

 

I dont like chrome/blingy stuff all over a car, but I do miss the old steel bumpers...

I mentioned a long time ago, I kinda liked the front bumper, and took a lot of flak for it- but I still think it looks good- but no way 400 bucks good. if they were closer to 100, i'd probably try one out, but heck for 400 I could get a pair of real bumpers for my 69- sorry, know molds arent cheap, but think its a bit steep, and am guessing the few buyers will be looking for 28" wheels or some other overdone bling...

the side trim is definitely not for me, and for some reason the rear to me looks stuck on(yeah, its all stuck on, but...) still, I'd like to see the front 'in person' once. a walkaround/video might help...

 

ford4v429, thanks for sharing your opinion with us. There are enthusiasts out there who would be looking for some modifications, and we are just trying to give you more ideas.

 

Looks like ****

 

Nope, trying too hard

 

Talk about flashback ... That kit reminds me of the things you would see old JC Whitney mail order catalog. When I was a kid, our family Desoto received some of the JC Whitney treatment by my dad.

 

there used to be a ford ranger in town with every gaudy/stick-on bit of plastic on earth- told the kids he musta won a JC Whitney shopping spree or something...visors, headlamp eyebrows, chrome taillights, antennas galore, bumper guards, chrome(?) hood bug deflector, plastic spinny hubcaps, yellow lettered tires, sidepipes AND chrome tips under the bumper(?), you name it... was the saddest thing i ever saw.

got a picture of a 05/09 mustang v6 from up in westcliffe colorado, poor little red v6 had shelby logos, stripes, stickers, you name it, it was on there...

I still think these cars could pull off a chrome front bumper look well - but without seeing in real life, dunno..

 

Did the Ranger have the JC Whitney chrome curb feelers and/or grounding straps dragging out the back?
