Brilliant Black w/Gold Accents
Just got back from my 2400 mile trek across the Midwest. Thought I'd share some pictures my brother took.
I've had a few requests from members to see the gold accents package. So here they are.
UPDATE: Here are updated pictures after Koni shocks and Tein S-Techs springs installed.
UPDATE: Here are updated pictures after Kumho Ecsta SPT's installed.

I did not know they offered gold accents either? You car looks great. Gold caliper would look awesome. Also gold strakes or even gold-tinted corners would look nice

Thanks for all the positive comments.The dealer I bought it from has a red and a white '05 with the gold accents but it doesn't seem to be as elegant as the black. Gold is my first choice of caliper color but I haven't been able to find a high heat gold paint yet,any suggestions?

Or you can try high temperature enamel paint. They are usually inexpensive and also easy to apply.
I don't think that the gold is available in Canada and I honestly thought it was a custom job (like you gold plated it!).

LOL, hmmm I wonder if that's a hint? :D
First let me contact the dealer to see if this is feasible. Then I'll post the info here for anyone interested.

I have inquired here locally about doing the gold strakes but way too costly just for strakes. I like the Kosei's but I'm afraid it may be too much gold. I like that the gold is an accent color and therefore not the predominant color. Maybe something in black with a gold lip or lugs would be more of what I'm looking for.

If you like the gold accents, most metropolitan areas have accessory companies that can do the job. Its a chemical process that changes the color of your chrome with electricity. I don't know the exact process, but the dealership I worked at once had a guy come out on occassion and do the work right in the parking lot. Fairly easy. Ask any of your local dealers, there should be someone who does them. And probably a lot cheaper than buying them predone.
