I wanted the contrast, but prefer a more subtle style, as you can see on my S5 as well.

If you're getting it painted yourself, you can choose a brighter gold vs the darker bronze I picked.

Jazer love your dobie. I am on my 6th. Great dogs. Piper is a black and tan female with her ears down. Also I am working on an '05 silver 8. Just changed engines but the upstream 02 failed. Waiting for a new one. I post pics soon. Just read all of your posts! You are some incredible person!

And here's my very first 8 that I bought new from the dealer. Its an 05 Sport. I had to sell it in 2012 when I bought my house as I needed some more money for the down payment. I really regret letting the car go. I miss it all the time. I ran a carfax and it shows it made it until 173k miles and was totaled in Wisconsin a couple years back. Very sad.

Very nice! I'm working with the body shop to source a better front bumper, then will be scheduling the "face lift".
