Default Nose Chrome!

Got some new nose chrome on today.






I didn't much care for the look of the screens here but the slotted chrome vents looked nice (IMHO!) Never used those fog lamps anyway here in Northern Cali.

I picked these up from forum vendor Motor Sport Image.

I like those, but I have 4 questions
1) Do they make those for the side and rear coves aswell?
2) How Much?
3) How difficult to install?
4) Can you be more specific on where they are at( I could not find those on the site)

I like 'em! I just bought a set from fellow member, JLA, that changed his mind after seeing it on his car. Should be coming next week, I'm thinking they'll really stand out on my black vert.

I like them on the red. They just didn't look right on my Quicksilver. You will have them next week Half-Life. Check the tracking # I gave you. My guess is Tuesday. They'll probably look good on black as well.

Boy your car look real good !
But IMHO and not being able to see in person, the new look takes away
the "in your face look" I like the pouncing look of a bad a$$ C5 that
"others" see in their rear view mirror just before they realize that they could be next in the food chain
