Looks really good. Really changed the look. Red and black look good together.

I always heard that "chrome won't get you home, but you look good sitting along the road"!
Myself, I dig the black chrome. Dad worked in a platting company in the late 60's. Brings back memories.
I always wondered if it would hold up on the wheels.

I was looking into the black chrome but it was twice the price of ceramic coating.
