fw3 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Anyone else gone through this transition? My entire garage was filled with all the best vehicles from each class, mostly for racing. Each car was chrome with green money rims, both because it matches my crew colors (green, silver, white) and because, well, I had the cash. But as I've matured in the game, so has my tastes. I'm still seeing chrome Adders, but less and less of them. More creative styles are being applied and I thought it was time to upgrade my garage. However, the downside is how ridiculously expensive it is. A Baller, for example, cost me about $200,000 to fully and upgrade and paint, yet it only sells for $57,000. How does that work? I dunno. Anyhow, it feels great and lends a fresh new excitement to the game. I haven't bought any new vehicles in a while, so this is a treat, despite the $$$. Here's a bit of before/after. Again, curious if many others have gone through the de-chroming of their garage? Cheers! Entity: Baller (chrome to a my crew theme, Boston Celtics) Bati (went from all chrome to a Boston Bruins theme): Elegy (chrome to NE Patriots theme) Blista... sorry, I didn't have the heart to change my baby. She was my first chrome, and she'll stay that way 4eva! ♥ Other vehicles were treated with other themes, like Exemplar to Red Sox theme, Bravado to Halloween, etc...

GTA Forums User99521 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That entity is so ugly,it looked better in chrome.The bati is ok except for those wheels which are horrendous.The green baller is nice enough and the blista although ugly,stands out as something a bit unusual.

blk95ta Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I have no chrome whatsoever in my garage. Closest thing to it is my stainless steel hearse. All of my cars have either black, charcoal, or alloy wheels too except my rooselvelt which has white wheels to match the spares on the fenders since the car is white. *edit* i forgot my favorite car, the phoenix, has modded gold stock wheels just like its real life 1977 pontiac trans am counterpart.

serimos6 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 ..Why would you chrome all the cars in your garage??? I mean, it's great that you came to your senses and took it all off, but seriously, that's probably 200K+ down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lonesome Drifter Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 That entity would look much better without the crew logo. It kind of ruins it :S But that Baller Greens beautiful though fw3 and BurningChrome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Malevolent Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I have a chrome Sentinel XS. I will not change that for anyone...

fw3 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 I bet your cars know what this is... Actually, my cars deliver these to others, on a regular basis, because - and not to boast - if I can afford to repaint my entire garage, I certainly don't worry about paying insurance on a few popped Adders. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fw3 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 ..Why would you chrome all the cars in your garage??? I mean, it's great that you came to your senses and took it all off, but seriously, that's probably 200K+ down the drain. As I stated in my OP, my crew colors are green, silver, and white. It made sense and to me, wasn't so bad looking. I do have to make comment about how "ugly" my choices are or that I "suck at customizing cars." For those who make comments as such, pull your pants up and post a pic of what YOUR cars look like and educate the community as to how you've mastered the skill of GTA5 car customization. Put up or shut up, as they say. Otherwise, you have zero credibility to back your opinion. And as we all know, opinions are like manholes... everyone's got one and they usually stink. cheers! Still disgusting, either Chrome or not. Yuk. This month's award for Most Stupendously Dimwitted Post Ever Today goes to Argonaut... what does that even mean? Every single vehicle I posted is "disgusting?" Post a pic of your cars, friend... let's have a look at how skillful you are with digital paint.

Blankerz Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think it is pretty safe to say R* put the chrome feature in as a joke... considering it seems only rich eccentric morons (IE footballers/popstars) have it on their motors. Just my opinion. fw3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
