ey guys.. need your opinions... what do you guys think of the titanium grill (i already have titanium boot handle and cowl grills) and the lip spoiler (to be fiitted with the existing S spoiler...) here are some attachments... tnx...

I think it looks cool...

nice neat departure from the chrome / carbon fibre path that most people go down...

is it a titanium colour'd paint, or what?

I think that's what photoshop is for....

Having a plan is good...so you don't overdo it....mind you...it's not an in-your-face colour like chrome.....so it might work....

it all depends on what you like..

I'd just do those and see if you're happy....

Thats actually pretty cool! Would match nice if you had a titanium exhaust.

Tit · Mar 22nd, 2005, 10:40 AM

*looks forward to pics*

(I can't talk..I just put on chrome mirror caps...

)

The REALLY cool deal would be to have those made out of titanium, not painted to look like it......

even bmw cars like the x5's titanium trimming exterior is also painted. and some chrome trimmings are also chrome painted/plated, not made out of original chrome...

it'd be VERY expensive... serves more actual purpose than aesthetic

pocketrocketowner · Mar 25th, 2005, 04:34 PM

All I said is it would be COOL....plus imagine all the feet you could cut clean off

eddieboyII · May 2nd, 2005, 06:52 AM

i haven't measured my ride height yet... but it's higher than the original hamann splitter but extends more than 2.75 inches out front than the hamann... i make sure to go easy on potholes and humps... tnx for your opinion Tit! You have a nice looking car as well. nice color coded aero kit! keep it up!
