Volk XX37 finish poll
Okay, I have decided to keep the LE37Ts but I am definitely going to refinish all of them.
*Please keep in mind, that my brembos will be painted either yellow or bright orange.
I have discarded the formula silver option and am now stuck with the following:

Given the accents and features of my car now, please vote!
My thoughts: Hg silver, as my headlights are clear from a side profile.

Tough call. I know that you were leaning away from the two toned colored rims, but IMO, the two are night and day. I feel like the monoblock are duller, and a little more subdued than the high polished ones. If it were my choice, I'd without a doubt go with the high polished lip.

Rob,
I was leaning away from two-tone in finishes more like black/polished lip, gunmetal/polished lip. Since volk's mercury silver is a bright silver, I like to think of silver/polish lip within the same gradient.
But Ti gunmetal looks so stealthy...

IMO, the polished lips along with the mercury silver will help bring the car together better. The polished lips help the chrome Acura emblem, the chrome in the headlight and the metal pieces of the tail-light flow together. Plus the light color will give some contrast to the paint and as well make the brakes look nice once they are painted.
Have you considered instead of Mecury silver going with a darker color like gunmetal from the GT-R's wheels?

Well, since my brembos are going to be painted either orange or yellow, I feel as if I need a darker color to make them pop. If I go with mag blue, then I definitely need to re-do my headlights to make them darker at the corners.
csmeance- I do love the high contract and that was what I was going for; but I'd really like for my BBK to pop as mentioned above. poo

Polished lip ftw! It makes the car look classier rather than boy racer. And I agree with the chrome factor. If you notice, this car has some chrome pieces in the front and the rear, the rims will complete the look for the sides without it being too flash (like those who put on chrome rims, no offense)

Mercury Silver.
I think you should stay away from the yellow or orange brembos. Too ricey for a TL, but that's my
