Thanks, don't seem to pop quite as much as I'd like, although maybe they are just dirty, but thanks for posting.

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.

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.
