Default Chrome mirrors or not?

I just got my chrome mirror covers from TVT, I put them on without removing the plastic over the 3M tape so I could see if I would like the look now I'm not sure. I wanted to take some pics but its raining.
You guys think it might be to much chrome?

Tony, I know you've got this chrome thing going on........but, I don't like those covers at all. They don't cover completely and look like a cheap add-on....which isn't what you are after...IMO.

You can see from my signature that I have been more show than go!. I think in my case the mirror covers are too much and I would not do. This is from a guy that has a lot of chrome.

Tony you know I'm a big fan of your car, but for some reason I'm just not that wild about the chrome mirrors.
But it's your car, and if you like em, you're the only one you got to please.
Leave them on for awhile, and just look at em everytime you're in your garage and see if they don't grow on ya.

Great suggestion. If not, then you won't have to pry the suckers off....

I'm a little bias I guess, but I didn't like chrome at all, until I installed the side strakes, door handle covers, and mirrors. With the front grille in Chrome the front profile looks real clean.

I originally had just the mirrors on, and by themselves they look tacky. When you add the rest of the stuff they really shine though.

I generally don't like chrome personally, however I have to say that the chrome mirrors looks great on the crossfire, especially on the black crossfire.

I say yes but I'm biased! LOL If you don't like them just take them off. But with the other chrome bits it sets it off nicely. You can always sell them for almost what you paid.
