Yup, that's right - I've been attacking the car with chrome stuff again. :D

Take a standard steering wheel:

Aww c'mon - it's gotta give a supercharger a run for its money. :)

Cheers.

Nah, mirror-finish signwriting material is the go mate - that way if it looks crap or I screw it up I can just peel it off and start afresh.

I did the grille emblem (see the link in Gas_Hed's post) and am thinking about putting a strip along the body-coloured door moulds - think KW Xi...

Unfortunately I don't have Photoshop so I can't simulate it to give you a better idea!

chrome the whole car next

Why stop there?

because any more than that would just be ridiculous and un-realistic.. jees..

lol

hahaha i just saw that pic!! you did that to your office didnt you?!! ur obsession with chrome has become unhealthy

Unfortunately I don't have Photoshop so I can't simulate it to give you a better idea!

Oh yeah, I was forgetting about open-source.

I'll download that and have a go at simulating it.

the problem with the gimp is when you are used to photshop it is a pain in the ass to get your head around

Moufassa that's genius!

Sorry, but you opened a thread because you painted a logo on your steering wheel silver?

:nuts: Thats hardly a mod. Thats like me sticking a badge on and opening a thread.
worst waste of AMC space ever

i was going to make a thread cos i put some clothes on today, but thought it was better not to put up the before and after. im suprised its had so much interest

I actually did stick the TS garnish lettering on the back of my centre console.
And its way more chrome then this.
time for a new thread.
over it.

Paul is on his rags again

So when are you gonna open up a new thread about your "TS garnish lettering"??

THIS THREAD IS AWESOME

I bet you made a thread when you debadged your car..... :P

this thread is getting more interest than a 3lDohc conversion. Wow what are the odd's?

I like what you have done. Looks nice. :cool:

I know i would be worried about this thread taking attention away from my threads.:liar:

Yep, ok. Enough of the smart comments - I didn't expect this thread to get so much attention either.

Moufassa that's genius!

Haha - I wish I could lay claim to that but it's just a pic I found on the net.

I will do it to somebody's office tho, before I die!

well i found it interesting, and im sure not many, if any people have thought of doing that

unlike a dohc conversion, how many ppl now have a quad cam?
TOO MANY

Well when I was first in AMC I sprayed my chrome grille, and it was a cool mod back then. I think back now, and it seems all a waste a space as well.

I have done this mod but I never mentioned it.

The only reason I sprayed it is because it's cheaper to buy an Altera LS grille and the only reason I put it up here is because I thought other people would be in the same boat.

Good onya mate, I'm pleased for you.

Thanks to everyone who offered positive and non-inflammatory comments.

Of course. but he painted a logo on his wheel and started a thread.
His grille, fair enough, that took some effort to make it how it was but every time i vacuum my car im not gonna post about it. etc etc etc

ok time to get over it. he started a thread about it. big deal. worlds not gonna end. maybe he is actually proud of something he has done to his car, and considering it looks good, he has every right to show it off

Ahh give it a rest would ya?

Sure, I could have put it in the grille thread - that would possibly have been more appropriate - but I didn't. So what?

I hadn't seen it done before, and thought other people might like the idea. If you don't, that's fine - just don't bag me for sharing.

Snap! :)

that is so not a snap, that was just some douche getting too emotional, mate if you post something on a public forum expect peoples opinions good and bad

Wait, SNAP!


:doubt:
A snap is a quick witted response not half a story

I can see the headlines now...

Man dies in single car accident

A man travelling in his modded Magna copped a big dose of sunglare from his "chrome enhanced" Mitsubishi horn pad logo and hit a stationary object. However this wasnt the cause of his death. His death was caused when the airbag deployed and shot shards of "chrome tape" into his eye causing him to bleed uncontrollably. The accident was caused by hitting a Keep Left sign which he unfortunately did not do.

:D

Erm ... no.

Echidna3's post appeared while I was typing mine, and it was along the same lines.


mate if you post something on a public forum expect peoples opinions good and bad

Yeah I agree entirely - I was expecting some people to say they didn't like the wheel emblem, not for them to be banging on about starting a new thread!!

I just think it's a very trivial thing to be arguing about. If there really was a problem with space on the AMC forums and/or this thread is indeed a "waste of AMC space", I'm sure an admin would be telling me about it.

Heh heh, I'll pay that one.
