Personally I think there's way too many colors going on here...

chrome, blue, CF, tint, bronze...

I like them just the way they are. Do what you wish but don't end up in the 'mods i regret' thread.

Well, since i've actually seen your car in person. I personally think that you should leave it the way it is. Every color meshes well together and I don't think you should change one bit of it.

Or yeah... just keep it the way it is. It really does look great the way it is man. But I understand when you've had a mod for awhile it gets boring...

you should change the poll to display other color options (i.e. Bronze, gold, satin black etc.)

personally - i strongly agree with getting them in GOLD - that'd be freakin' beautiful

p.s.- ditch the chrome door handles

so are you just getting bored of the look or do you have a new theme/look in mind?
Im also considering getting rid of my Volks, two pieces are just too much maintenance.

I think you should get these painted Gold. The matrix looks really similar to the Volk GT-V's. GOLD!

Blue cars with black wheels and either chrome or silver lips have always looked good to me.
