The Gold is Gone...New Pics On Top Of A Parking Garage.....

91LSMAN · 07-17-05, 03:42 PM

Well, first of all, those of you that didn't like the gold emblems, etc. They are GONE. I have brand new chrome emblems installed along with chrome plated license plate frames that say, of course "LEGEND." I needed a good spot to take new pics and I remembered the Mulkeshoot Casino's parking garage. It's 80 and sunny today, so the top of this garage, with Mt. Rainier in the background made for some of the best pics I've ever taken!!!!

Take a look...

Thanks!!!

The gold emblems were the only thing about your car that I would've changed. Looks great now with the chrome ones. Car looks great as always!
It's funny that you took some pics on a parking deck-I just did the same thing here.

I guess everyone will think I copied you when I post mine lol.

Looks great, Patrick! I haven't seen gold emblems that I've liked... well, white cars might be able to pull it off.

A-P Legend · 07-17-05, 04:30 PM

Oh yeah, that looks WAY better. Ive never seen a car that looked good with gold trim....ever.

Now you will win all the shows for sure!

qwalls · 07-17-05, 04:32 PM

Looks great, but I already said that on the other forum.

Definitely like the chrome better. I'll probably do the same on my GS at some point.

mYbabYLeGend · 07-17-05, 05:02 PM

I like it without gold but for some reason im not liking your front end. I think its the foglights and you have way too much clear products. The gutter guard gots to go, just my opinion.

man that car is clean as the Board of Health!!!

what's your tint percentage(s)?

frantinez63 · 07-17-05, 06:20 PM

Nice pics. I prefer chrome too.

Questions:

-Where'd you get the plate frames? Are they high quality? How much?

-Eric

mondonalds · 07-17-05, 06:25 PM

Yea, I am in agreement that the gold doesnt look as good as the chrome. I replaced my gold grille with a chrome and when I get the body work resolved on my rear end, the chrome emblems will go on as well.

91LSMAN · 07-17-05, 07:32 PM

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really like the way it looks now as well.

The license plate frames are very nice quality. I purchased them from http://www.gunthergifts.com. You can get many different frames in chrome with writing on them in OEM fonts. Shipping took a while, but I ordered them with enough time to spare.

I actually contemplated taking the mesh out when I did the install-we'll see what happens. I still kinda like the mesh. The fogs might change down the line though. If I-908 passes and we don't need front plates anymore, the front plate will come off and I'll get different fogs installed in the OEM location-might do that sometime anyway. We'll see what happens.

My tint is 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear.

Don't worry Kenso-there is room for two threads with great pics. LOL

Thanks again everyone.

Oh by the way-I'm not done with the chrome. There will probably be more before the end of the summer.

She's hot, per the usual

The silver emblems look cleaner.

Have you seen the cursive Legend frame?
Check it out...

I'm not sure which one is my preference.
They both look tip-top.
