graphic color

On my victory red cobalt ss i am going to get some side graphics and on my last car i had black graphics on a red car and it looked good but the black vinyl would always get dirty before the rest of the car, i am still considereing black but am also considering silver at this point since silver would saty cleaner looking i think. Whats your opinion?

what about a deeper red? or maybe silver with black accents? I would say go out, buy need for speed most wanted...or ask one of the guys on here with the pc version (and have them take a screenshot), to set up a red cobalt with black and silver graphics.

99.9% of the vinyls in nfsmw suck though what happend to the good ones they had in underground 1 and 2 the modern ones were the best looking. im not sure which one it was but i had like a burnt orange car with a two tone blue vinyl and it looked bad ass

and i would black, silver wouldnt get as dirty but i think chrome vinyls look like crap

I've seen actual silver on red vinyls and it doesn't look that bad. I think black would almost stand out too much...

Personnally....i would strongly suggest having whatever graphic a different shade of red...it will not stand out hugely but people who look at your car will definetly notice, it will set in nicely. than u can put like silver on the inside or something else but look into the two toned red option it really works well if done right

just depends on what type of silver. flat silver or shiny silver or silver with a flake look to it.
