I cant get over how nice this is..
Chrome cups? Id go a satin / black to match the wheels.. you cant put chrome with nothing else round to match it.. but thats my 2c. Either way .. This car is sick.

black cups would also look the goods but dont want to overkill the orange/black theme. depends on the interior colour see what happens.
