  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I'm the extremely happy owner of a 2025 GV70. I see tons of posts about chrome delete but can't find any good advice on making it more chromed out.

I plan on getting some new rims. Likely some 15-20 spoke polished silver.

The front top grill seems to be some kind of dark chrome, and I'd like it to be shinier but it's okay if not. I'd REALLY like the bottom grills to also be chrome. There's no decent chrome plastidip out there and I don't think you can vinyl wrap something like that, can you?

Last thing... I didn't want the size or extra features of the GV80 but I REALLY like the side vent molding on those. Obviously I can't get actual vents done but I'm wondering how chrome vinyl fakes might look.

Happy to be part of the Genesis family! I gave up my Lucid Air for it and don't regret it one bit.

It would look tacky and fake to car guys/gals. Don't do it.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your Genesis GV70. I'm glad you found us. :)

Lucid Air! Very nice... I like those cars quite a bit. What was your experience with it? And how are you liking the GV70 in comparison?

I'm with you on the chrome. I really love chrome. But you CAN over-do it. I like those GV80 side vents as well... They probably wouldn't look out of place on the GV70. I think the front vents would probably look good if they matched the grille in the center.

The vents may be good, but please, stop short of making it a 1958 Buick
