My feelings on the whole Rod and custom thing are pretty well known. I just don't like them painting parts like bumpers and grilles body color. To me that is bringing the car down to the standards of today's nerf-mobiles. Chrome trim is what made cars stand out back then. the chrome bumpers "frame" the body of the car, the chrome grille makes a statement. At least it doesn't have a small block Chevy, like the rest of them.
