Chrome Front/Rear Bumper Trim

Hey guys and dolls,

Found this on hubcapsplus.com, I personally like the front bumper trim, but the rear is somewhat hideous. What do y'all think?

Pass, it's retro styled, but it isn't the actual old car. Some things are better left in the past if they don't mesh with the current body style.

It's overkill... In the past designers worked so hard to get rid of chrome bladed bumpers so they could make them body colored and look integral with the rest of the car while making them safety compliant...

It doesn't work on the S197s like it did in the old days.

I like a little chrome but that's too much for me. I've put the chrome trim around taillights. That front bumper doesn't look too bad - compliments the 18" chrome Bullitts. It might appeal to some as a factory or dealer installed option but otherwise too much for my taste.
