Do you think chrome bent fives would look ok? I thought about them... I like the Pontiac script on the doors, too, and I wasn't crazy about the interior at first, but its' grown on me fast. So I want to paint the scripting on the bumpers, but I'm not sure what color. Opinions? Black or red?

I completely agree!! I'm sure they'd look wicked.

I say go with red. But maybe bring some more red into it as well. Red calipers poking out from behind shiny chrome bent fives.. See a trend? lol :banana:

Yeah, I want to go with some more red. I like the kinda black and white theme that's going on, but I want to change it up a little...

Same color as the pin stripes, black.
But red calipers could justify other small red accents...


Nice upgrade, Looks good!

Red lettering would be totally ricey. Red calipers would be alright though.

I can see that point... will probably go with black. Red calipers are a possibility, but different rims are a must. I despise these rims...

These were technically the "Comp G" wheels:

Those are just GT/GTP rims.

I saw something those wheels actually looked OK on. A 00+ SE in dark bronzemist...not half bad IMO.
