My Newest Mods...What do you think?

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.

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!!
