Default Chrome - Classy or Ugly?

Personally, I hate/despise chrome. I don't care if it's on wheels, grills, side mirrors, or window trim. I was just told that "a little bit of chrome is fine and ads class for 'older' folks like me... - DesiA4akaArun ". Is this true? Do old people like chrome? Am I going to start liking chrome when I sprout ear hair? I live by the mantra "to each his own" but I thought it was accepted that chrome belongs on big rigs and Harley's.

Default Chrome is great on old cars :)

I will keep my chrome rings and badges but that's
where it stops for me. I like the whole monochromatic
scheme. I was going to go with anthracite centers
on what ever rims I choose but the more I think
about it I am just going with a bright silver rim
like the Flik Lex's (On a silver car).

Of course this is assuming *if* and *when* I find
the right A4. Which I haven't been able to do yet!

=)
