I definitely like the gold/green color combo. There's still something minor that I'm not lovin' but I can't quite figure out what it is. I don't like the gray skirts/bumper on any car, so maybe that's part of it. Hmmm... I think I'd like it even more if the skirts/bumpers were green, and the bumper/side mouldings were darker.

Have you ever heard of, or used "Forever Black"?? That would be a simple way to get the mouldings darker.

BTW... what's the purpose of the tape anyway? Is it just cosmetic?

yea, the tape is there partly for a cosmetic reason. but the other reason is that my driver side turn signal keeps popping out when i make this one right turn on my way to work. that lip is i bought from eurostop, its not ti specific. $50 for a lip isn't too bad. he doesn't carry it anymore but he has some other neat stuff.

Nice!, What do you guys think that on my blue Ti? Reason I ask is my 18's tires are about gone and I need to put my stock ones back on until I get some new tires for my 18's.

hmm.. i think if it were a dark bronze it would look nice! best way is to just spray paint a sample cardboard or something in place of your wheel. the paint i used on my wheels was from micheals. 7 dollars? its been on for 2 months with no chips.
