Hey all:

What do you think of the "silver bullet's" newest mods. Wheels, fuel cover, b pillars and exhaust finishers.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Hot freakin' damn! Looks good - the different chrome bits complement* eachother.









*No, I did not mean things like "My goodness strakes, you're looking quite dashing today..."

I'm not usually a fan of the fuel covers, but I like it on your 8. It doesn't standout distastefully since it blends well with your silver paint. I definitely dig the wheels. Nicely done.

BTW, do I see chrome accents (not the rear rotary accent) on the rear under grill? Never seen that before--is that part of the appearance package or is it aftermarket?

Sweet. Really nice! Where did you get your exhaust finishers. I am still checking around and $225.00 is the cheapest I can find. They look so good on the eight! What else are you going to do or are you done?

Great looking 8. The chrome definitely goes with the silver 8 and doesn't look too bling. Mmmmm ... chrome rims.

Hey Starman, I don't suppose you would mind posting some close-up pics of those B-pillar appliques? I was thinking about getting those and just wanna know how they look up close.

Hey Mark:

Actually that is the $9.99 per roll fender molding simulating a rear grill. Available, at Pep Boys. I made a "billet" grill out of the same stuff for the front grill.

NICE!!!! I love your front end. I hope mine (black tho) will look similar by the end of next week....or as soon as D-man comes through. Car looks f-i-n-e....where are you from?



I did the back end of my 8 also and it IS awesome...just need some nice cans down there to finish it off....

I like it! I'm not sure what molding you're talking about, but I'm going to have to look into that stuff. Looks good on your silver--I wonder if it would look as good on titanium grey...?

Nice!! I like how you balanced out the chrome on your 8. The front has some, the sides and the back. Nice and even.

Congrats!!

can you take off the deflector for you moon roof? personally i would take that off, and ive never been a fan of the chrome fuel cover, but it looks the best on silver since it almost blends......otherwise, clean car

You can...Pep boys $9.95 for 25 feet of fender molding. Very easy.

I never like Chrome... but you have changed my mind...

Thumbs up

I am sure it goes well with silver 8, and your neighbourhood is like a model home.:p
** EVERYTHING WHITE ** and they matches your car with chrome wheels to. :p

It is chrome strip molding with 3M tape. Simply measure the lengths you need, cut them and space them evenly as you can, stick them on one at a time and you are done. :)
