I need you guys' opinions !! What colour rims ?!

Hey everyone !!

Im looking to get some Advan T5s. But im not sure what colour. My car is BB. Im torn between silver and gun metal. Now i know jedi has the silver and im leaning a little more towards the gun metal so i dont "copy him". One more thing, im planning on getting a carbon fiber lip as well. So what do you guys think will look better ?

1) Silver T5 with carbon fiber lip

or

2) Gun metal T5 with carbon fiber lip

Im also leaning towards gun metal cause i dont really think the silver will match with the CF. THe lip i want is the Leg motorsport.

If you guys can photoshop the lip on one of Jedis pics. Thatd be great. Feel free to do so. Just to give me an idea of what it will look like.

PS i have searched for pics. I do have pics im just not sure which will look better, its such a hard choice.

THanks !!! I need your opinions

KK thanks guys !! Im also considering the chrome now. Its not really "chrome" in the pics. Its more of like a gun metal shiny finish. But well see. As of now, gun metal it is.

If you guys can photoshop one of PDXHAK's pics to make the lip BB, please do so. Itd give me a better idea of what im looking at. And please, no atilla artworks.

If you are going to paint the lip then get the FRP version because it will save you some $$$.

I'm going to be doing something a little different with my lip later this year. I plan to add some black to the clear and then spray the lip. When you are around 5'-10' away it will look black but as you get closer the CF weave will start peaking through. Best of both worlds for me
