i made up my mind -- i'm gonna keep my empis -- no i'm hesitating for the color
1. GUN GREY
2. GOLD
3. ALU COLOR
i kind of like the gold one -- but is this an original empi color?

 Gold is my choice but it depends on what colour your car is |

i think your car looks absolutely stunning already!  and i definitely dig the empi 5s, glad you're keeping them. what wrong with the colour now, they look amaaaaaaazing! but if you insist... though i think that gold will look a little odd on your capri blue... |

If it was the Olympics, what would you chose? Gold or silver?  |

In my opinion capri blue doesn't match with gold ... grey would be better

Gold really contrasts in a bad way. Go grey/gunmetal

I personally like the grey best no matter what, but I have to agree that gold + blue doesn't sound like a good match

grey seems to be the best choice between the two colors.
I prefer them mat aluminium when them come from sand blasting, and letting them some days outside to weather the aluminium

And in answer to your question - I sure am building a "Looker" its gonna be a little bit special and yep I want to fit buggy bars but I thnk they will have to be "Hand made" if I want them to look right. drop me a line at monki772003@yahoo.co.uk sometime Cath ya soon dude |
