Real life chrome finish on cars is actual material right? Wouldn't that add a considerable amount of weight to it?

JalapenoPaul713I don't especially like chrome paints but, damn, those R8s look cool.
To be honest, the gold striping isn't too bad. Typically, I think gold trim is vulgar and awful, especially on Lexus SUVs.My favorite R8 tuner: (Just a tad bit of gold trim)
Man, someone really needs to be more creative on what cars get the chrome treatment. Always the sports/super sports cars.
Now, if someone had a chrome Daihitsu Midget or Insight/Prius, I'd be happy.

Except the SLR pictured is almost entirely made out of carbon fibre, so again I assume it's some sort of foil.

This is the original gold and black though.
Not chrome per se, but shiny nonetheless!
