Ok, so I saw a new STI while sitting in traffic today. It was a very dark grey, almost black color with yellow brake calipers and a thin amount of yellow along one of the ridges of the tires, forming a ring around the wheel. That got me thinking about what color scheme I'm wanting to do with my black SS/TC. I've been thinking of getting my windows tinted and powdercoating my wheels black too. After it's all said and done I'm going to have a very black colored car, and I was wondering what color I should use to contrast it.

I've been thinking of painting my calipers red and leaving the Chevy emblems alone, including the ones on the wheels (so they'd be completely black with a small amber Chevy emblem). I'm planning on leaving my taillights alone, so that would be red too.

I'm wondering now if I should go with yellow/gold for the calipers. They'd go with the Chevy emblems a bit if I did.

I guess I'm torn between yellow/gold or red as the contrasting color and I can't decide. I can always paint the Chevy emblems black too (with maybe just an outline of color or something) if they don't match the scheme. What do you all think? Red... or yellow... hmm...

 

red. and i love the all black theme. it looks f-ing great but to many ppl do it now. so this summer ill be painting my whole car 2-tone. silver top and black or dark charcoal lower. but i say red man.

 

Like that?

enjoy....

he owns, arguably, one of the sexiest cars on this planet.

 

that thing is mcnasty.

 

gold or red on black huh? Big surprise. Do something different. Try some photoshops with several colors and something will catch your eye.

 

I see what you're saying, but really there's only so much you can do until it just becomes ugly.

those colors work because they go together.

 

im doing yellow so stay the f away ****!!!!!!!

 

I like red/black but I'm biased too a little

 

LOL! Themz fightin' words! :P

 

i voted red

 

What's wrong with blue? Problem is finding the right shade, I prefer something dark, like navy.

 

blue calipers FTW.

 

if you got a ct id leave the brembos alone, jus my opinion

 

black & red or black & chrome (gun metal) or the full black out stealth look.

IMO i'm fan of the black out stealth look and the black and chrome look as my 2nd choice. Red not my thing..but that is me.

My self I was going for the full black out look.

(I got new tires..since this pic..dont flip out!!)
(whet smoke over black after sitting down with some local palm beach shrift officers..we came out with a way to make my taillight dark as possible well still being legal this what we came up with.

 

i like black/red.

i'm in the same boat, i have no idea what color go with black haha

 

Truth. Carerra GT's are my fave all time exotic car.......and that one has the AWE Tuning straight pipe exhaust system.........gah......SEXXX!!!

 

my scheme is red and black..but i think you should go with black/dark blue

 

I think black with a lime green is pretty nice, got to be done right though! not to much not to little. and not a lime green that is brighter than the sun.

 

I never seen that mix.. I like it! grate ideal I might go for black and blue on my next project!!

 

Wow, thanks for all the input!

 

Be different. I say go with the golden yellow.

 

I think that the white ones could pull off a golden metallic color too.

 

I voted red. I'm painting mine red this summer. I also like black and white though.
