I think the black would look good also if the wheels were black.. I cant tell by the pick they almost look gunmetal... Otherwise the grey gave it a good contrast...

i think the grey looked best. The black kind of looks cheesey.....doesn't match the blue as well as the grey...just an opinion...good luck with your decision!

someone said this in another thread...but if u paint ur gfx a darker color then the body of the car especally like black at night it will look like ur car has no gfx at all...i saw a pic too it makes sence if i were you id go a little darker then ur current color prolly a light grey...so far the other colors look wierd compared to what u have them currently
My vote is for a light grey just a tad darker then ur current color
Anyway your car always looks great! hope you make a good choice

Having them anything other than body color really makes the car look dated IMO. I would definitely paint them body color if you're going to be repainting them at all...
My opinion? I'd say either body color (will look better then what you photoshopped I'm sure) or what you have now.
Also I'm not sure if it was you or not but if it was didn't you like the way one of the Japanese thirdgens were painted with black coming down past the grill on the GFX, kinda making the grill look bigger? If so why don't you do that?
EDIT: found pick of Japan camaro I was talking about

either silver or body colour
silver makes it looks deliberate
body colour makes it looks great
any other colour makes it look old

paint 'em to match your wheels, tint your windows, and smoke your taillights... i think that would look good.
or you could keep your gfx the way they are....
i must say, though, that your car is very unique and is one of the more recognizeable cars on the boards as it is...
