I painted the rear trunk chrome strip flat black. It looks awesome on my black SVT. I left the front chrome oval as is. IMO, painting the front oval gives the car a cheap aftermath look. But, this is a matter of taste!

Furthermore, in your case, the chrome on the silver paint is not so noticeable.

definitely a matter of taste. i think the stock chrome looks tacky. it stands out too much. my black oval now looks like its stock or should've been stock. look at the st200s and see if they have stock chrome ovals. ford gets eveything right overseas and not here.



IMO the body coloured front oval does look like a a cheap aftermath addition. It is like the ugly bumper chrome strips in the pre 96 models which, instead of simply removing them, have been painted in the 96 models! And when you look at them you wonder why Ford bothered putting them...
