Round 2 - Pics with side marker
Okay, got around to posting my side markers. I've basically have my 8 the way I want it and don't think it will change significantly in the near future. If possible, I would like to add the Euro lip spoiler down the road.
Mods: Clear Markers (jt-imports.com), Stealth bulbs (stealthauto.com), Strakes, Tint, Rear Door Trim Protectors, MP3 Player
Factory: Rotary Accents, Appearance Package, Spare Tire, Cargo Net
Before adding clear markers.
Couple more pictures viewable through my Sig.

Great looking car BV, and you live in a great setting for the pics too. Pic #3 is definately a brochure shot.
Exactly how I want mine to look, just in Velocity Red!

I'm still amazed by how different the Titanium Grey/Gray paint looks under differing lighting conditions. Images 2 and 3 could be of 2 cars.

Car is look amazing.
The one thing I would think about adding in the future is the exhaust finishers. The apperence package is deffinetly a must now that I see how it looks on the cars.

It is illegal in California, or San Francisco county at least, to put any tint on the driver/passenger side windows. So I went very light up front (50).
Yeah, that's my favorite too, even though it still has the orange side marker. I have that picture in High Resolution (approx. 2200x1800 pixles) and it has excellent detail. I can make a link to the orignal photo if you guys are interested.

There are some gorgeous pictures there. The boat in the third image is lovely. Where was that picture taken? Looks like a lovely area and I'm a bit of a boat fan too.
One little thing. Your strakes don't look level in the photos. I plan on installing them on my car when we finally get them in the UK, but I think a spirit level is essential when putting them on. Where they factory fitted, or did you do it yourself.
I may be entirely wrong and it may just be an artifact of the pictures.
Other than that though, lovely pictures and thanks 'cos I'm waiting for my Titanium and keep wondering if I should have had blue instead, but these just reinforce my opinion that I was right for what I want.

You know what.. the strakes are not perfectly level. I did not notice this myself until after looking at some of my own photos. In person with a cursory glance it seems fine but sure enough after closer scrutiny the lower strake is a bit off. Heh.. I think I may let it slide, not too eager to fiddle with it again!!!

btw, doing that fake grill painting would look great on your titanium gray...ever think of doing that?

Or are you instead talking about the grill located at the back of the car, near the fog light? I remember that thread and see some possibilities there. Not sure which is better; using the Dremel tool or actually painting the grill. I don't think I will seriously pursue it either way; I would like to see more results first.
Personally, I would pursue the pillar garnish and/or euro spoiler next if the prices were reasonable.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Looks nice, if I would do it, I probably would skip is the center of the rotary accent. Thanks for the picture, I'll read the thread for the details.
