Fish, carbon or chrome?
Okay, do I leave the fish chrome which picks up the silvery finish in the machine faced wheels, or do I make them carbon flash to match all the other carbon flash stuff? Can't decide...

Go to the carbon flash. I have AW and it looks great. The match is to the vents, not the wheels IMO. Kind of harmonizes all of the trim. Its really killer on the rear end where you have the carbon flash diffuser and the tail light bezels - they are in such close proximity. Also, I got the vinyl overlay for the chrome strip on the grille. It all looks great.

I'd keep them chrome if your wheels are silver.
I agree about keeping all the emblems the same, whichever you go with.

I would keep all the badging the same. I think the silver fish looks good with the wheels.
By the way, glad to see your ride stayed above water. Hopefully you were not affected by the flooding.

Keith, I'd leave them chrome. Here's why....
1. They balance out the look of your wheels
2. If your side mirrors were black, I'd say switch them up. But now, it's just your rear spoiler and stinger stripe that are black (on the exterior).
Keep the balance!

I'd keep the chrome, I think it works better with your ride.

I think that they would stand out better in carbon flash myself, but either looks good. Since you already have the chrome you may just keep them, as they don't look bad.

On your car I believe that you need to leave them chrome. It balances the reflections of the wheels. And this is coming from a guy that has the carbon flash badge package and hates chrome...go figure.

Dark/Black wheels = Flash Fish/emblems
Chrome/Silver Wheels = Silver Fish/emblems

Looks clean as is - black, they would be splotches on the car and would look like warts.
