    The red door molds/bumper strips are a fairly recognisable trademark of the 'SS' IMO leave them as is.

    But, to answer the original question, yeah, why not? Chrome looks sweet on all models, not sure why Holden didn't fit them from the factory.

    Have you got a pic of your 'SS' closer to the same angle as the one in the pic, with chrome strips?

    If so, see if one of the boys can photoshop it onto your ride, then you can see if you'll like it.

    Not sure to be honest, the SS has it's own look. Definitely dont take the red off (IMO). Maybe give the chrome surrounds a good see how she looks

    Nah - Wouldn't suit the red and blue contrast of the SS.

    The only one I've ever seen it look good on is Beefy's black VS SS - but he's removed his red strips and tinted the crap out of anything on the car that wasn't already black. haha Looks intense!

    thanks for that man,you did well,im sort of swaying towards no with the strips,they seem a bit out of place as there is no other chrome like that on the car
