Default Help Me Pick My Grips!

Ok, I just got this back from having a bunch of work done. So as not to go into it all again, read here if you don't already know:
http://www.cotep.org/forum/showthread.php?t=510

Anyway, I want some really nice looking grips to finish off the transformation. So, I thought you guys might chip in and help out. Everyone take a moment to post pics/links to what you think would finish off the job. They can be Sarge's, Cappi's, something you found on eBay.....I don't care.

If someone post the grips I wind up using, I will send you a little something as a show of my appreciation.


Here's what they will be going on:

Here are some I think would look good:

Maple Burl


Snakewood


Honduran Rosewood Burl


Or some Desert Ironwood Burl


But I'm a little biased when it comes to grips...

Thanks AutoMag!

The OP should also look at Sparkies ironwoods as well, especially the checkered ones! I may have to send him a set of my own personal grips and have him do the checkering.

I like what's on there, what is it?

I'm a huge fan of VZ Aliens too...these would really set off the black frame.
