Matte metal bumpers okay, but chrome is far too reflective on a bright sunny day! It blinds oncoming drivers too easily.

Frankly I don't miss the chrome at all ~ and that's precisely the reason.

It's noteworthy that automobile designs have changed to anticipate ACCIDENTS. Today the vehicle collapses into the collision. That way the fenders, bumpers and other parts are bent and NOT the passengers.

One day we were stopped at an intersection and a car coming in on the right smacked into a car coming in on the left ~ a near head-on collision!

Both cars were going about 40 MPH, and both collapsed ~ all their bumpers fell off, and all the passengers and drivers walked away without injury. BTW, their seatbelts also worked great ~ the airbags too.

Kind of entertaining!
