Which looks better - grey or silver?
FINAL RESULTS OF 3-DAY POLL:
SILVER WINS, 12 to 8! Thanks everyone, that actually helped a lot. Had to pay a vet bill of $1800, a non-CPO (!?$#) repair for $500, and it's still snowing like a mofo here anyway, but when I recover from all that, looks like Silver should be what She's wearing this spring. --- ORIGINAL POLL: Just curious what kind of comments you have for which colour best suits a Monaco E91, or if I will just get a 50/50 response curve based on personal preference? Black is too much for my dark Monaco, but I like the "slightly angry" look of the matte grey, and it gives me future options like Blackline, OSS reflector wrap, smoke side lenses and stuff to complement (which I can do regardless)... buuuut then everytime I look at the existing stock OEM silver I think, "hm. that looks good too." Crap. I quick-and-dirty 'shopped each on the stock pic, also shown. Ignore the gap... Note the "stock / background" pic is "as-is" from the listing when I originally got it. The only visible change so far is I corrected the tint to be 23% all around from whatever was previously on the back-half. Fire away. WHEEL:

SCORE:
Silver: 2 Grey: 1 (with references, however) I think I see where this is going. Ha. But I do appreciate the opinions! Even with only 3 votes, what it's telling me is, "No wonder I can't decide, they both have merit." My Wife will be happy, she voted silver also. |

Hunh. Well THAT was unexpected!
7 to 4 for Silver over Matte Grey (so far). I really thought the matte added a certain flair - notwithstanding at least one of the grey votes is first-hand Monaco-on-Grey experience, so that should really count for at least 2 votes. There is a VMR studio-pic post in here of a blue-on-grey which I thought looked nice (helping me originally think grey was a good choice) - but I think the blue looks like maybe Montego and the Grey was glossy however, both of which would make a difference in the final look of course. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...32&postcount=3 Okeydoke then... looks like back to the drawing board! Thanks for the input! |

I'd opt for a different style.

Seems to be settling down at about 2:1 for silver over matte grey.
-----> Silver: 8+4 = 12 -----> Grey: 5+1 = 6 Still surprised, and appreciate the input! Open to suggestions, what's on your mind? (or are you just screwing with me... ha) |
