I dropped my car at CCS earlier today for John to Opticoat my wheels. So that was your MC red P85D...very nice! Did you do the Xpel?

I think the Model S is better off stock than modded. It looks great when stock.
I especially don't like when people black out all of the chrome.

I'm of the opinion chrome looks good when it's against a contrasting color, like black. For red, however, I feel it clashes.
To each their own. Individual tastes are individual!

chrome is for old people :biggrin: Does not look good on modern cars, but everyone have their own taste
While at the Quaker Steak car show last night, Btrflyl8te told me an older gentleman said he loved her chrome and didn't like my blacked out trim (we were parked next to each other). I forgot just how old she said he was though.
The whole black vs. chrome thing is generational because of different attitudes. Black is the color that shows attitude. Black is "bad." Chrome shines, which connotes beauty and status. Picture cowboys wearing black hats and cowboys wearing white hats, it's a similar deal. I bet music choices vary between the black trim and chrome trim types!

Thanks to frankness and EarlyAdopter I have now changed my P85D order from Pearl White to MC Red. I was planning to replace my pearl white P85 with a pearl white P85D but after seeing how great the red looks with blacked out chrome made it an easy decision to switch.

I think blacked out chrome on this car looks so out of place for a futuristic, chrome electric powered beauty.
Black chrome makes it look so monotone.
Both of these perspectives seek to understand. Personal taste is just that - personal. They have had all black cars forever...the original cars only came in black, then in the 50s it was a single stage paint for your hot rod, revived today and actually called "hot rod black". I personally look at the chrome and think 'bling bling'...BMW charges for taking chrome away and call it "the sport package". In fact, most car companies making a statement about their car releases usually offer an all black edition for a premium price. My point (aside from saying I clearly like the black look) is there is something for everyone out there....I dont ever look at it as "black vs. chrome" - just personalization.
