Show me some pictures

I am thinking about painting my Design 90's black and with a polished lip. I'd like some opinions and pictures of different colors of cars that have this look. Any make/model will work for my purposes. Please post pictures that you come across to help me decide which color to paint the rest of the car.

I will also consider leaving them stock or painting them all black if you can convince me. Let me know what you guys think.

I actually have not accomoplished any of my planned mods yet. I've spent two years collecting all the parts since rescuing a '56 Beetle from the desert in Arizona.

So far the plan for the body is:

'56 Body on a '69 chassis
993 headlights (stock, possibly Litronic conversion)
New Beetle taillights (stock)
Audi A4 door handles (later style from a 2000)
Design 90's (16x6, 16x8)
one piece windows
hidden hinges
no stock chrome
late rear apron/deck lid (1974 FI if I remember correctly)
flared fenders (as wide as necessary, I'm anticipating about 2 inches in back, 1-2" in the rear; I will be trying my hand at fiberglass/CF once I get the chassis together and the track finalized)

These flares will be the bubble-type, that hug the tire, the typical style of GL. I already have everything listed above except for the fenders. The idea is for the car to look as smooth and uncluttered as possible, while making it as functional as possible.
