I don't see any chrome on combat vehicles, of which Hummers make up a large percentage. I also don't see chrome on tree trunks or on rocks (at least not naturally occuring), so how did this start?
Do you really need a hummer to stand out in traffic, hmmm... don't think so, it's quite a statement as is. For my part it's function first and a clean apperanace is good enough. Nice paint is OK, although it won't stay that way for long off roading, but that's OK. When I think for the cost of all that horrible looking chrome, you could have gotten better tires, a rack, off road accessories, it just doesn't make sense.
But this is America and I guess it's the diversity that makes it such an interesting place!
