[DeTomaso] Shiny or Black

[Asa Jay Laughton]

My stock 1973 Pantera L model has a black front and rear bumper and all the window trim and drip rails are chrome.

I think it looks fine.

In my opinion & having all metal black, I think it is either all or none. Black bumpers with shiny drip rails, door window frames, & windshield molding would not look good.
Either all black or none. I'm not saying black looks better than shiny metal! A mix would not look right, think about it.

You could always do a Photoshop mock up with chrome bumpers and blacked out bumpers to see which looks best to your eye.

Keep the shiny bits.  Re-chrome those bumpers!  Much nicer looking IMO.

Then installing new steering rack, air horn, recovering door panels, and
removing all 4 bumpers to be sent off to either be rechromed or powder
coated black? I'm about 75% sure of a full  yellow/black GTS paint scheme but I don't
want to black out stainless window trim...thus the hard choice on the
bumpers.
GTS paint scheme with all shiny bits or reduced shiny bits?????
