I personally would do it gunmetal, or a dark bronze.
I personally don't like the way colors look like on a silver or black, or white car. It's too flashy for my liking, I like more of an OEM looking setup, so that it's not nearly as flashy. Unless you're a show guy, and if that's the case, I'd polish everything!
I have doubts that it's a show car simply because it's turbo without a bodykit. (That's the way I would do it! :P)

Rep Power: 312 i am putting down 165 to the wheels with 6 psi of boost through my stock exhaust. Just wait until im running 9 psi with my 2 1/2" exhaust.
I Think i would like the black chrome. Would that cover the welds? They are extremely small TIG welds. I know they look good when they arent covered, but i think that if they are blended in, it may look like it is all one piece.
