  - True... the exposed bolts really do make it a whole complete piece. - kenTTang 2014-10-29 11:55:08 (137 views)
- To me, it's always been the "crown jewel". A solo bit of elegance. But, your car, your decision. - TTQ2K2 2014-10-28 20:49:46 (124 views)
  - I wonder what aluminum bits I can add to the exterior without making it tacky. - kenTTang 2014-10-29 11:54:37 (103 views)
    - Mirror housings. - oc 2014-10-29 13:54:59 (100 views)
      - I think I would consider it tacky since it's not an S or RS car.   -  kenTTang  2014-10-29 18:01:50 (90 views)
        
        But no such thing in MKI though.   -  oc  2014-10-29 21:46:36 (101 views)

  - Yeah, that's part of my dilemma, knowing that it's a defining part of the car, haha. - kenTTang 2014-10-29 11:53:02 (124 views)
    - its your car, do as you would like! :) Can always switch back if it was wrong>> - rabbitgtdguy 2014-10-29 12:42:03 (111 views)
