I think it sounds awesome.

I'm going to follow your progress closely BIU. I'm wanting to do something similar eventually. I've been looking for a nice set of gold wheels to go with my gold emblems. So far the only ones I really like are the Racing Hart CX, unfortunately the gold ones only come in 19". I wanted to keep them 18".

I'd go with black, but only if you leave the center silver (in adittion to the lip). Otherwise, gold, though it contrasts the exhaust tips.

Gold would be pretty nice, but black on black would be sick. Just think....FE3P!!! That being said, my vote is for black on black. Pimp it out Vince!

You are correct sir

What i meant was a CLOSE matching paint to the Top Secret gold...

The Volks gold im pretty sure i can do.... The shop has a paint scanning machine that can scan up to 99% accuracy for a paint match.

im getting my rims this thursday! black on black.....racing harts. maybe that'll help ya.

seriously black on black is a great look. black on gold will look great if it looks just like that photoshop. that gold is a shiny bling bling type of gold. just make sure the gold isnt a flat bronze that looks dull....

haha... uhh, FE3P's car is already the perfect example. a pic of my car won't change your decision after seeing his.
but i'll send you a PM later if you want, when i get my car back and take some pics.

I suppose I don't understand the iconography of color sufficiently, but I think the black looks sleek and the gold looks "pimp."
