    Had a container run today in Ocala FL. Coming back i stopped at the 75 Chrome Shop in Wildwood Florida. I remember 7 years ago, this place was a little shack. Today it seems like a palace of Chrome merchandise. I bought a couple of stuff and new mud flaps. Tired of those schneider mud flaps with black paint over it. All my console is chrome now, they have showers, billards, video games, and washing machines, and a big sticker that says SAY NO TO CHEAP FREIGHT! The old motel besides it used to be called the Wildwood Inn. Now it's another Motel and cleaner. It's a good feeling how a mom and pop business grew from nothing up to a recognized nationally chrome store.

    I guess it's been like that for 6 years. There's a guy that BBQ's out back for dinner. His food is pretty good.

    They cut custom vinyl too for your truck, I got my handle "flip flop" on my drivers side door, it's diamond plate chrome set on a blue background. I think it was a whopping 6.95, and it looks sweet.

    No matter what kinda rig you have they have some kind of bling for it. Fun to just go in and look around. Never left there without getting something! The BBQ shack out back is a good one too. I'd get fuel at the T/A and then head across the road.

    Overpriced. Everything they sell in there can be bought off the internet for 1/3 the price.

    If you go to the Jackson, Ga exit there is a small chrome shop on the hill at the Loves that has the same stuff for much cheaper.

    Their polish is good and their prices aren't bad. I always stop by and say "HI" to Simba...... They don't carry as much product as they did a few years ago, but still a nice place and nice people in there.
