Hey,

I am building a website for my brother's business Premier Auto Source and have come this far http://premierautosource.com/test2.php as far as layouts go. I am using that image to get an idea of how I want things laid out. I asking for suggestions for a cool navigational system. The theme is metal, black, silver, grey-ish colors, so does anyone have any suggestions? I prefer something based on CSS and xhtml, but I am open to anything that validates and is cross browser compatible. Anyway, if you have anything please let me know. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Nothing works better than text links - guaranteed to work in every browser - you could spice them up a little using CSS.

you could do something on photoshop and then slice it up thenadd css to it

If you're only going single-tier, the Photoshop pipe trick would make a way cool menu here (and somewhat symbolic since cars have exhaust pipes).

If you're going two-tier, the pipe-trick plus a drop-down navigation system for those with submenus.
