I'd go with the first ones. The second set look really out of place.

edit--
Just my opinion, but I think the stars look like they belong on a newer, more rounded car. The swoopies flow a little better with the lines of your car.

I don't like the swoops that much, but on your car with your color, they look badass

Although I have never really liked the swoops, I know, I know everyone likes them. In the pic they just set the car off.

I Think the grey in the center caps matchs nicely to the paint color..

I think the torque stars are a better choice due to the cut, "squarer" look that goes well with the 87-91 look versus the "flowing" look of the swoopes.

Go with the T-Stars.... the swoopies do not look right on it, plus I personally think they are ugly. They just don't look right on the car whatsoever.

I do have another suggestion... what about the dark gray Aerolites on my '92? They would go great with the color of the car, AND I am going to be selling them in a few weeks! If you need a pic of them to PS onto yours, I'll post a pic you can use.

SACRILEDGE! you just made the list :(

ha

The swoops look good. However, torque stars have been done on MikeG's 90SSE and it looks great, it works well, but the swoops are bigger and it hasn't been done ;)

Oh no no no.... they look GREAT on the Aurora, they fit the body lines perfect on it. I just don't like them on the 87-91 or 92-99 Bonnes.
