Welcome and let the insanity of the crazy world of mods. begin. I am a Chrome ***** so I vote for the glossy look because it shines!!! I have noticed in the past year that the younger crowd, generally, goes for the blacked out look. I notice, for the most part, that us older guys likes stuff that shines. Back in the day for allot of us older guys, at least the way I remember it, the going things were chrome and performance mods. Old time "choppers" were big too not the kind of choppers like OCC puts out either. I'm taking "Easyrider" type choppers. I have grown to like some of the blacked out bikes, which surprises me, but at heart I'm still an old fashioned type guy who likes performance, chrome and stuff that shines. I think a few chromed out pieces on a blacked out bike looks sweet too.
