^don't get what?
My opinion on chrome rims: chrome is a nice eye catching piece, and should be used on cars that don't have any eye catching appeal. The 8 doesn't need chrome. Rims should be nice to look at, stand out a little, but not draw ALL the attention from the hawwwwttt lines of the 8.
Black rims are nice, but can get lost on an all black car depending on the style.
Don't know about custom grill stuff. Check in the vendor section or search for titles w/grill. There's a DIY or 2 for grills as well.

Yes, please do. I have seen several posts by you after Zaino jobs and I am considering ordering some Zaino products. My paint has many minor scratches, and a couple deeper scratches. It also has a few swirls, and it just does not shine like it should.

[QUOTE=pdxhak;2038255]Took a couple of pics on some neighborhood back roads. Love this car on the twisties!
What kind of rims are those? They look nice, I finally got a new digital camera so once I get back from FL, I'm going to snap some pics.
