With the rear bumper still being chrome, emblems, and windshield moldings, I would go with either a polished of chrome outer to tie it all together. Gunmetal, brushed/cleared, or even the silver powder coated centers would look awesome. You really can go wrong with any of the Forgeline designs. They are all bad ass!

If you have to think about it that much -- then keep shopping because when you find the right one - you'll know it.

There's tons of people that can photoshop or render your choices... spend a couple bucks now and save yourself some "angst".

Again, I agree, as well.

Thanks Scott, Dave has been very helpful in working with me. I was able to get him brake specs and specs from the front clip I'll be running from SpeedTech.

Can't wait to see them!

Yum! So you went w the DE3P, not the step lip? The pic looks like the DE3S, but my eyesight taint what it used to be. Congrats man! BTW, I'm running the same brakes. You're gonna love 'em!

Edit: Nevermind. It's the Gx3. The pic you posted is a 20". The 18's have a little thicker spoke. Spoke to Scott who cleared it up for me!
