Chrome Plated : The Ford Shelby GR1 Concept

Shiny reflective things are cool. Parrots have been on to this fact for years. The secret to making anything look better is by chrome-plating it. The following examples deal specifically with automotive hardware, but the same concept can be applied to items such as bicycles, home office equipment, pets, small children, and even bodily functions. Really, your imagination is the limit.

The uber-example of chrome-plated coolness is the 2007 Ford Shelby GR1 concept car (actually an aluminum finish). In 2005 the car debuted at the Detroit Auto Show. If Ford decides to put it into production, potential buyers can expect to pay around $200,000 US for it. The entire exterior of the car is polished aluminum, and if you haven’t had a geekgasm yet, imagine that it also has liquid cooled LED headlights!
