LOL  12 responses  -  3 for SS; 3 for Chrome;  3 for either; 3 for neither
(detracts from the looks of the car).     Anyone want to be the tie breaker.
 
General consensus
Chrome looks better - bright chrome like bumpers - must be diligent in
waxing - will eventually rust  - (In stock); 
Stainless Steel less likely to rust - closer in appearance to the beading -
less shiny - (3-6 week delay)  
 
Since I live in the land of 80%+ humidity the scales are tipping slightly -
ever so slightly - toward stainless.   I wonder how the concourse judges
might react - not that I am looking at a 100/400 pt car.
 
Thanks to all that responded on or off list - additional responses still
appreciated.

A question for the collective wisdom of the list -

I am ready to buy a luggage rack for my TR3 project. I have decided on the
type that attaches to the hinges rather than drilling holes. The only
question is whether there is an advantage between stainless steel and chrome
(cost is the same).

Any and all comments or recommendations are welcomed. 

Thanks
