I think your car looks great how it is, black on blue really doesn't look to great to me, you have a good thing going.

Ur set up at the moment looks good.Stay w/it! It's funny I'm debating the same thing. But now that I keep seeing black w/polish lip on NBM cars, our cars look better in polish or chrome. It's sad but true. Ur call of course!

sell the motorsports to texasreb18 if you get the black ones, then there will be two black fbodys with z06 rims in the family. as far is my opinion goes, i beleive your car would look good either way its whatever floats your boat.
