Default Chrome Honeycombs? Opinions?

i know somewhere on there, someone sells the chrome inserts for the nostrils and the brake vents.

what are your guys' opinions on these? i have a black WS6 and love the all black look. The chrome wheels set it off nice. I haven't really seen a lot of pic's with a black ta with the inserts (hint hint, pics?)

i can't decide to stay all black, or break it up a little bit

break it up. Color combos are always better than a single color.

Yup yup, cuss you know there are lots of other guys with the same, black black bla bla...PEOPLE DOWN THE STREET!!! Break the black with something, even just a white T/A decal on the upper part of the windshild will make it pop, all one color gets boring IMO...

anybody have any pics handy of a black ta with the inserts? i figured i'd ask before i did a search

i think they would look good on the sides, but i don't know about the nose.....just afraid that it'll be too much. i love the look of the front of the car

There have also been many reports of his items falling off of cars!

If you buy my products, you will be getting the highest quality 316 stainless steel. It is polished as stated above by Prince. It will last forever! Plus, my stuff does not fall off of vehicles. It just seems kind of obvious that he busts onto the scene after I do with trying to undercut with cheaper, lower quality material. I'll let my feedback do the talking -Thanks. If you buy my product, I know you will be completely satisfied.

Dragon maybe so, but I have asked you in the past about making Firehawk things, like what I am in the market for, and you simply said there was no market for it. I was willing to send my OEM screens out to you for templates for the inlets, and heat extractors. In which I know there would be plenty of guys to jump all over the Firehawk stuff. I just got my screens back from him to make a template, he is having a hard time matching the Firehawk curve of the extractor since he uses acrylic mirror (which is no where close to stainless steel). I would be willing to lend my OEM screens to you as well, but you told me earlier that you didn't think there would be a market to justify making them....So if you are sayin there is now, I will be more than happy to lend my screens to you as well...

Get them. I bought the ones from Afterthoughts Auto when then had them (they went to crap) and now have them painted (Autozone chrome paint).

One day when I get more $$$ I'll be buying Dragonz28's stainless.

These are thick, heavy, laser cut stainless steel pieces. They are polished to the point of being mistaken for chrome. They are that shiney. I know this because that is what people were saying at the Trans Am nationals. (Look, chrome letters and chrome inserts. Cool.)

Or you could do as SLP LS1 state "Keep'em black!" that way I am more unique! You will be amazed at how much these inserts will make your car pop. If my TA had nostrils, I would be all over this.
