Default Front grille surround OEM options... black, chrome... brushed aluminum?

I don't care for that chrome grille surround, because it gets coated with grime in no time after a wash (like the way OEM brake pad dust coats your rims, as Audi is infamous for). I think it would look better in brushed aluminum. I searched around but turned up nothing. Has anyone seen or heard anything about a brushed aluminum grille surround? It sure would go nicely with matte silver mirror housings. :-)

Default I am researching the same thing.

I cannot tell if there is a thin metal layer that is chromed which would accept electroplating or would electroless plating work on plastic? Lemme know if you find anything out on that. I want to do brushed on all emblems and grill surround...ASAP status!

A primary problem you suffer from is the physical dimensions of your bum. It absolutely affects your ability to fit in your drivers seat and at times it must cloud your thoughts regarding the wealth of auto tuning resourses that you have available to you in the sunny USA, mush less California. Get with the program.

Default You are the ultimate wiseguy huh?

First off I'm not the one you can talk shizzen about. My *** is in direct proportion to the rest of my body. Next, I'd check any size man for saying something that stupid to me in person. Finally, what motivates you to say such insanely stupid things on this forum? Theres an old country colloquialism that is so appropriate to describe your fleeting sense of intelligence. "You haven't got the brains god promised a goose-egg" Live with it, wombat *****.

Default I have a "well proportioned" butt, but also find the S-line seats a little too narrow

LOL

Black is beautiful. How 'bout black side mirror covers too? I think that would rock.
