Ok cool. I think I'll take the vents off for the gunmetal. Don't want to get gunmetal on the lower black slats.. Want the contrast.

Very busy these days. Hopefully I can get around to it soon

I just ordered some gunmetal dip, after seeing my photoshop I was really into the idea... I'll post pics too.

Gunmetal might just be that perfect combo between titanium and black. You're still planning on keeping the silver trim around the kidneys?

Yeah I'm definitely keeping the chrome surrounds... I think it should be the perfect balance between black and titanium too. I'm still not 100% sure about doing the hood vents though (on mine). On the 4.6is they're black & 4.8is titanium.

I wish they'd stock them in stores somewhere, their shipping prices are crazy... $10 to ship one can. ^ Metallizer on black looks good too.

DTM, could you p-shop a titanium pre face lift with black grills and chrome rings?
I've got titanium grills with my titanium paint...I think it's too monochrome. Hood vents are black and think the grills would look better in black...but will keep the chrome rings instead of everything in black.

Thoughts guys?
