Here's some blurry pics of chrome factory 18's for those who are wondering how they'd look on titanium.

And another. Again, sorry they're so blurry. Pictures really don't do them justice, they look killer.

You need to get clear sidemarkers to finish off the look.

Your car's looking awesome, but I agree with BV, dem orange sidemarkers have gotta go.

Nice! I like the chromes on that car and especially on Winning Blue. Didn't like the look all that much on Sunlight Silver.

I am guessing the chrome increases HP by 5

What does everyone else think ?

Agreed on the sidemarkers (does anyone like orange ?). Stands out even worse with the chrome ... I'm waitin on mine in the mail ...

Georgeous. Can you get a shot of that same angle and distance showing the grille and the wheels? I know, demanding, ain't I? :D

Okay, my Ti and I are interested. Looks pretty good1

What does it take to get your OEM wheels chromed? (assuming those are the OEM wheels) Who, how, how much?

Also, tell me about your grill. What have you put in there?

My clear markers are on the way. Have temporarily lost my caliper stencils so my plan to paint them had been delayed...

I purchased the wheels through a vendor. Once they recieve my wheels and they refund me the core charge I paid, then I'll give them a free advertisement. :D

Details of my grill can be seen Here

I think the billet grill like brothervoodoo's would look a tad bit better.

To all of you who say chrome looks bad on the 8 take a good look. I think it looks great. Nice job!
