Think I’m going to keep the CNC edge - I like the contrast

I think that would look good. Decided on the color of the wheels yet?

Platinum had a yellow hue, Titan had blue, so going with Meteor Grey, in semigloss coating and a CNC edge. Will post photos when done.

I say keep the original charcoal grey color. The contrast looks good with silver. Anything lighter will wash out with the silver of your car. And keep the lobsters!

Those look epic. Thats my favorite color on Silver. Great job. Michael Bath did something similar. I loved his side stripe too. It was subtle but gave some pop.

Would you mind posting a link to the headlamps you went with, and a photo with them on at dusk?
