The De-Chroming of an Entire Garage

 Share

Recommended Posts

 

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!

You've gone from chrome to garish multi coloured disasters, so you've matured from 12 to 13?

 

A perfect example of how easy it is to feign funny and criticize with little or no constructive merit to the reply.

 

Sure you could have said, "in my opinion, your cars are garish," but you chose to base your effort and go the low road, which is fine.

 

It just illustrates the difference between a person who has a halfway decent perspective of the spirit of the game and a half-empty toolbag trying to be snarky.

 

I humbly request you pull your shorts up and provide an example of your masterworks, that we can all revel in your superior glory of painting a car.

 

Seriously... let's see what you got, hot shot? ;)

Exactly what I'm getting at.

 

Also my Snapmatic doesn't work, so.

Never went through that phase since I'm over 21 and not a douche. I just don't see the point. It really just only makes you look like a complete newb/dumbass/squeaker. Idk call me crazy but I like my cars to look somewhat real. And if you think I'm saying this about everybody who chromes/money rims out everything in there garage I am. You guys look the f*ck dumb lol. Just more you have to pay when my self induced low pockets ass blows that sh*t up lol. And for the ones that call it there troll mobile to get a pass f*ck you too lol. The f*ck does chrome have to do with trolling on GTA lol. "My cars shiny, this will make him mad" me: yeah that cars shiny..... q-man blew up dumbasschromecarowner. So much for that trolling lol.

Of course it doesn't, sweetheart. It's okay. I'll just take your word that your cars are perfect.

Not de-chroming, but I'm slowly de-blacking my garage. My Sabre Turbo is now a dark red.

So much more constructive, effective, and appreciated. Those are definitely some snazzy rides. I felt that way early on and kept my cars very conservative. Now, I'm just having some fun and keeping the game fresh for my own entertainment. Cheers! And for the record, despite my real age, my maturity has grown to somewhere between 16 and 37. ;)

Those are kind of yawn worthy though.

 

I have my Cognoscenti painted deep red (forget which one) but I mean, different strokes for different folks right?

Looks like OP's garage made babies with the garage from Giantgiants.

I'm digging the sports themed cars. My Bifta had a Dolphins theme (aqua and orange) for awhile and then Bears (navy & orange) during football season. I changed it to blue and red for the Cubs during spring training.

I never put chrome wrap on anything other than to make Yolo$wag bombs during the Jay-Z Money times.

 

Good rule of thumb from said Hova:

 

No Chrome on the Wheels I'm a Grown Up Fo Real.

 

 

TRUTH.

As the OP has stated he changed his Chromemobiles, but his old pics show all the sights of breeding with Giants Fook ugly Chalpha with yellow diamond rims.

A bit of advice man,don't put white walls on modern super cars.Don't put dollar rims on ANY car and NO chrome either.Also stay away from purple,lime green, fluorescent blue and luminous yellow.

 

Other than that use whatever you want.Your cars don't have to be boring just don't make them outlandishly ugly.

Thread went on for 5 pages, then got deleted. So much hateration

Personally I only make something chrome if it looks good so I haven't needed to de chrome anything.

 

Example:

1.It only changes metal parts (Like it does on the Akuma)

2.The car is a Mercedes (Like the Feltzer)

The Baller should sell for about 88k.

You must've missed something.

My cars look like real cars you would drive to a show. Well, except for the Lime Green Phoenix..:p

But, I found it that way and I thought it was a rare bird..

Redemption does exist it seems... Yet not fully. The Blista is still in pain.

 

Also, why did you flash your avatar? It's like Scubadave now. First they got his verified logo's in their signatures, next thing you know they'll be flashing their avatars.
