    I'm also not a fan of chromes. And taking out the chromes is always the first mod that I do on my vehicle. And I make it permanent. Even the emblems on my car are painted matte black, heck even the chromes inside my headlight ay hindi nakakaligtas hehehe. Almost all chromes in my vehicle will have to be soaked on a muriatic acid/hydrogen peroxide solution. Pero kanya kanyang trip lang yan. Some folks nga kulang pa stock chrome garnish sa kanila so they try to add pa.

    Yup, much older cars, mostly 1970s and below when most of the chromed parts were metal.

    Nowadays chrome colored bits are used more as accents. They still look good pa rin naman, it depends on where they are. It's only when you put them everywhere that it becomes gaudy.

    Baduy ba yan?
    Not the color Cath. The two colors you mentioned are actually my two favorites.

    Imagine the antenna in the picture and put 6 more of them on the roof.

    But I totally agree with whistler that chrome looks good on old cars.
    Alam mo, mas matitrigger ka kung makita mo ang ganyang mga chrome garnish sa tear drop tail lights ng montero than any other ppvs you would see with those kinds of accessories.

    Hindi kaya because we used to have a passion for stainless owner jeeps? [emoji16]

    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.

    Apparently for Mitsu, orange is the new chrome. "Barbarian Pack" - a sign of the times?

    Yey for me kaso parang medyo overdone sya.. Unfortunately, orange is not for everyone though.

    Agree a bit overdone. I like the rims and maybe the front grill treatment but the door handles and headlight trim are too much.

    It seems to be trying hard to replicate the Titan Warrior's theme lol but there's too much ponkan taste on it. I like the grille though over the original one.

    Orange eyebags 😂 Parang alanganin pa yung pagka orange.

    They could've gone a darker orange or Caterpillar yellow and paired it with black. Might look better.

    Maybe they should also use the Warrior moniker as well in the suped up Navara.

    My opinion of what baduy car is that yung uso back in 90s and 2000s gaya ng lambo doors, stereo system sa trunk. Underglow kits. Super huge rear wings. Too manu decals and stickers that add imaginary hp. Pick up trucks that are lowered or are fitted with lift kits but have never seen any off road action. Aesthetics defeats function.
