well i mean they're both about the same level on the uncommon scale here in the states. i just haven't decided if i like the chrome yet or not, and with the 2nd one i ordered i could get it painted body color or just sell the whole thing.

I had mine painted flat black to match the bumpers. Looks pretty good.
But a lot of it is also being blocked by the nudge bar so not a good comparison.

Chrome looks out of place especially with your headlight housings painted black. Being that factory chrome pieces are at a minimum anyways (aside from the OEM accessories) so it naturally looks out of place.

ya the only chrome pieces on mine are the grille insert and the spoiler piece. i feel like if i get the other piece painted then it would look better but doesn't stand out as much. you would have to know the front end of a crv pretty well to spot it, where as the chrome trim makes it stand out better

tough call, I don't usually like chrome either. but I do like the chrome grilles on the crv, **** I even like then giant chrome blob on the oe spoiler for some reason. ebp makes chrome pop especially well.
