thanks guys!!

the car is silver, but its getting a custom paint scheme, i think everyone will dig, ill post pics once its in the booth

the titanium almost matches the second color going onthe car..

you will only see it from the front or back, nothing on the sides

+1 I found a site that carries it but I don't know if it's a good price or not. Gold is after all the best reflector of heat.
