It was looking for until I saw those side gills on the fender.  I would get rid of the front plate and install a filler strip there since you are not running a front plate. And paint the lower gray trim black. The grills look like they are from a H2. __________________ ...steven

Thanks for the tips. I might keep the bottom trim gray though. I kinda like the two tone. I had a black plate with a chrome frame. I replaced that with a chrome plate. | | | | | 06-03-2006, 10:36 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
Ive never seen those fender gills before. They are different but I kinda like them, they look better on the ti then the M3 gills. __________________

Wow... if I'd known you were going to add the chrome hatch handle cover thing... and some gills... I'd have made you a deal on the chrome hatch hancle cover thing I just pulled off of my ti. And I'm about to pull off the gills too.
But yeah... new paint is the shizznit, yo? :-) __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

I was all ready to congratulate you, but then I saw the A/T.
I hope you didn't use some tire shine stuff on those tires - all that does is degrades them faster. __________________  | | | | | 06-04-2006, 02:37 AM | #10 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Greensboro, North Carolina Posts: 77 |

I think they look pretty cool and I've been getting compliments about them. Im thinking about putting a spoiler on the back. I havnt made up my mind about that. | | | | | 06-04-2006, 02:39 AM | #11 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Greensboro, North Carolina Posts: 77 |

You got a nice looking ti man but i would suggest colour matching the skirts/ front rear. | | | | | 06-04-2006, 02:58 AM | #14 | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Greensboro, North Carolina Posts: 77 |
Thanks! I used TurtleWax Wet'nBlack on the tires. But you should have seen my car before I got it painted. The hood was completely faded and the paint on the car was dull. It looked pretty bad. Its a world of difference now. | | | | | 06-04-2006, 03:18 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Bend, OR Posts: 413 |
