Noooooooo!!! Not gold tips! I can see where you are coming from. Is it b/c the berlinetta's had a lot of gold accenting and emblems and stuff?

Man, I saw some on a ***** and they looked horrible! I think anything gold on a car's exterior looks very bad.

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of the Berlinettas having all the gold. I wasn't really sure what it would look like, but I think I agree that it probably wouldn't look right. I just wanted to see some pics of them. Anyway, the chrome tips are cheaper.

Around here, gold on a car is a DP thing...most brown guys love the gold and most white guys hate it.

It has to be a black car or it looks like $hit. We're ripping off all the gold and chrome on my friends dirt blue "Berlighetto". I have seen them on real nice Caddies and I like it, just not 4" tips.
I used to own an 87 Black/Gold Trans Am GTA and it looked great (I had exhaust tucked under rear bumper out of site). A little Smokey and the Bandit look never hurt anyone, but don't go overboard.

Well, my car is black, and it has gold pinstripes, and I am thinking of getting the gold Berlinetta rims. So, I might try it out and see how it looks. But if anybody has any pics, I would be really appreciative.
