Just my opinion, but I think chrome accents is an Asian thing. With modern European & American cars, chrome is just a subtle addition, but does not dominate. Old or classic cars should really have chrome, since cars back then had real metal bumpers & other chrome accents (like hub caps) that would rust if not chromed. My very first car, a hand me down 1972 Dodge Colt, had chromed metal bumpers. I even had it re-chromed when I restored it. But at that time, sporty cars like the Ford Escort (my dream car) had painted bumpers since these were considered sporty. Chromed cars were considered standard.
