For the appearance guys who can visualize... no pics - opinions?

OK... I wanted to post this here because all of the usual "appearance guys" hang out around here in particular.

I was thinking about a black, white, and polished theme to look kinda like a sharp tuxedo, but on a G

So the question is: how do you think this would look?

- Black G35 Coupe, lowered, tint as the "blank canvas"
- Work Meister S1, 3-piece with a WHITE lip, BLACK rivets, and a POLISHED center
- factory front grille, with faint white outline around Infiniti symbol - two-tone
- rear badges two-tone "polished" and white
- polished exhaust tips



NOT that I'm going to do it, but was curious. I like my gold/black theme going on.

Not feeling the white lip. That'd be a b*tch to keep clean.

Don't think that would look good.

Wheels: polished face with a black lip and black rivets.
Just do the emblems white.
I'm sure there is something more you could do with the grille that would look good.

I dunno... it might just have to be sitting there to get a good idea on whether it would look good or not, but here's what gave me the idea:



Modeling the wheels off of the face of the watch, and using some mild white pieces on the front and rear of the car to add to the theme... out of curiosity, I might just be crazy enough later to order one Work wheel like the above, and mount it to see. I'm sure it would either look killer, or look like *** - nothing in between!

Thanks for indulging fellas!

Here we go, it wouldn't be as much white as this, and I think it's pretty clean IMO:
