I could see this used on a certain theme. Not for everybody but very old school to be sure. It could use the Old School FORD Letters on the Hood and MUSTANG on the Deck.

I LOVE chrome bumpers. But I think it has been sooooo many years since anyone has used one, it just looks out of place. I want to like it. Maybe if I stare at it long enough...
Can you picture a '67 with painted bumpers?

The one thing I like about the 05+ Mustangs ....
No bulky Chrome Bumpers - to kill the lines on the car !!!
Look at the new concept challenger - Looks better w/o chrome bumpers !!
I for one hate the idea of throwing fake chrome bumpers on a mustang.

As to the bumpers - I think the idea isn't bad, but the exectution is what hurts them. My wife's new ride (to us anyway) is a 2001 Lincoln LS - it has small chrome trim on the bumpers, inset in, but not covering the whole thing. Here, I think the same thing - about 1/3 the size they are on this car with them blended better into the surrounding painted areas, and you'd have a much more "palatable" product.

That could be cool on a car modded to a retro theme, with enough other chrome accents in the right places... dunno... trying to keep an open mind here...
