Need pics of white Fuchs w/ polished lips & petals

Not sure if we are going to go with a full polish (My first thought and still the favorite) or white with polished petals & lip. What do you guys think? Here is the car...

I agree with Evan. It looks very period correct with the Fuchs you have.
The white might look kinda funky, IMO.

Before in white:

I prefer the black on my Grand Prix White car.

Colored insets almost always look funny, to me. Black is best -- especially with your car's black trim.

I'm not a fan of fully-polished, either.

(Jeez, I'm fussy.)

Thanks for all the kind words guys. The more I think about it the white is out. Jack does bring up a good point about the black matching the trim, and that would be a lot less work on my part .

Hey, wait a minute. White Fuchs are a factory option. In fact, they were the color in the `87 brochure centerfold and on the factory poster in `89.

LeeH had them on his 84 and I really liked the look on his car and that's kind of where I got the idea. I think on a white 80s car with a tail it fits. With all the chrome on the car I wanted at least polish petals and lips to go with the chrome. After seeing Sergio's picture with the white inset it was not the look I wanted. I'm trying to keep it old school.

When I see the white on white 911, I think Crockett and Tubs aren't far behind
