De-chromed '16 Civic coupe

[manhunt]

Saw this on Jalopnik.

How would the 2016 Honda Civic Coupe look without all that tacky chrome? Much, much better.

A little bad photoshop on my part was all it took to take the Middle American conservativism out of the Civic and put a little Japanese earnestness back in to the design. To replace some of the Ohio in the car (American Honda is based not far from lovely Columbus) with a bit of Japan. That’s the part that made everyone love Hondas and reject their bloated American rivals in the first place.

Its a good start IMO, but needs wheels. Can't wait to see what the aftermarket can do with the new coupe.

The blackout looks good. But damn I think Honda outsourced their wheels to Pep Boys and they in turn commissioned the Insane Clown Posse to design them.

That sounds spot on

Call me crazy but the chrome stuff has started to grow on me. I probably still prefer a black chrome but the silver chrome doesn't look as bad to me anymore. Maybe it's just the coupe's great styling making it look better?

Totally agree lol. I hated it at first, but now I like it on the coupe. Maybe it's just the blue color that works well with the chrome, but it must be the styling. I'll be keeping the trim on my coupe for sure.

I don't like chrome on cars in general but there are certain colors that it actually looks better on than black parts. This blue color might be one of them. I think if you go with black trim on the blue, the wheels can't be that bright. Looks off together.
