Default bronze or gunmetal ?

these are some pics of my car....during a trip to drag wars in houston last weekend, I bent one of the rim slighlty....so I was thinking since I need to get it repaired, should I just go ahead and poqdercoat them to gunmetal ?
I kinda like the bronze look but wanna try something new...

wow, that is a very clean teg.. i say stick with bronze, just get the rim fixed. i have some questions tho... how did you smoke the corners? looks really nice. What kind of hood is that? what spring/shocks are you riding on? drop looks PERFECT. almost convincing me not to get coilovers unless thats what you're riding on. thanks man, keep up the good work

Gunmetal with a couple coats of white pearl. Just kidding, I wouldn't know how that would look. I would go with gunmetal though.

98 Black GS-R with Fiberimages Carbon Fiber hood and sparco hood pins
OEM body kit, Eibach Pro-kit springs with tokico illuminas shocks

thanks everyone...I am leaning towards keeping it bronze...the wheel bent is not noticable, but it threw off the balance to where it's can not be balanced properly...

I use a flat black paint about 3-4 very thin coats, just enough to have the shady look and a few clear coats

i believe he (correct me if im wrong) spray painted the corners flat black, not electrical tape.

you said you had the OEM body kit, how come you left the rear peices off? i think it would finish up your look perfectly... i have a black LS and im waiting for my front and rear lips to come back from the bodyshop (getting painted). keep it up man.

Sweet ride! Looks very clean. I would go with gunmetal. The bronze looks good also imo. Hey, I was wondering, does anybody make sideskirts that look like the OEM WITHOUT that triangle thing on the end of it?? I so hate that triangle. Is there even a company that makes sideskirts that look like that without the triangle??

Yeah...you can just paint your stock side skirts.

I'd stick with bronze. But you can't go wrong with either one.
