Default Rimless! :) 360 again... which finish??

Guys I recently sold my 360 Forged 3 Piece wheels to another CL member, and i am getting the new Mesh 8's from 360. I currently ordered them, Color Matched Lip And Inner Barrel, with matte black center. But this can change as the wheels are being cut. So please vote on the poll on your choice for my car. For now I am Rollin on stocks while my new wheels get made.
So I wanted to post some quick pics of what has been done to the car recently.

I lowered the car on Tein SS coilovers, Added 3000k HID fog lights, Had the tailights tinted, and added the Tanabe Medalion Touring Exhaust. Enjoy some pics of the car clean and SLAAAMED! OH! and BTW...100 SHOT of Nitrous coming in very very soon.. like next week. I have all parts already...

I vote for brushed aluminium or whatever finish you had on your last wheels. Can't wait to see the Mesh 8 on your car. Let's see some nighttime pictures with your 3000k =D

car looks sweet man. im lovin the smoked tails. they look really good on a darker color car.

a couple questions: do you have any adjustment left on your coilovers at all or did you crank those things all the way down??

and hows your tire wear?? im rollin those stockers myself with a drop similar to yours, and my tire wear is pathetic!!

Yeah man, thats why I still undecided on doing a drop until there is a camber or control arm out there for the GS. It sure does look good with a killer drop but it sucks the tires wear after 7000 miles. Anyway I voted for the Color Matched Center with Chrome Lip. I have not seen that set-up on your color car as yet.

Thanks for the compliments... the tailights are killer now!
I did ZERO to align the car.. it drives straight as an arrow, doesnt pull or anything. And i have the Coilovers turned all the way down.. actually my front has maybe 2 turns left and my rears are all the way down. I havent really had a chance to notice tire wear just because my car has 3900 miles and I was on stocks for the first 2k miles. Then on 20's. But im not to concerned about tire wear, that is the price you pay to have a good lookin car, IMHO.

I am shocked on the outcome so far... I already had brushed with chrome on my last set.. I wanted more agressive, my car is getting some "sneaky pete" put into it in the next 2 week... 100 shot will do so i was thinking something a bit more "outthere" like i have a 50k dollar car, slammed with NOS without it having to be blingy...and what...
