Need some input!

I'm bored and I'm thinking about painting the lower part of the bumper and lip under the lower grill. I've seen the guys with red & yellow do this in black, but my TC is black. So what color do you guys think would look good on a black car? I initially thought white, but idk if that'd be too over kill so maybe a metallic silver or something. If anyone has pics of this on a black car please post them. I searched a bit but couldn't find a black car with it. Give me some input on colors and I'll try to post pics tonight when it's done. Thanks guys

i think silver looks good on black but it depends on how the rest of the car matches

rest of the car is pretty much blacked out, but I think a black/ white contrast would look good since I already painted the Front bowtie black with white trim

You could go with a flat black. It would be really suttle but it would look ok.

That's a thought... Hmmm. I kind of want more of a contrast, but I wanna be sure before I do it, so I don't have to color match it back lol

I dont think a shiny black would look well with flat black on the lips, it would look like you added on a ghetto lip kit. If your bowtie is already white it may be a nice accent. Try photoshopping it :P

my photoshop skills aren't the greatest, but it's worth a try. If not I'll have to put up a pic and see if someone can do it for me

maybe if you posted a pic of your car, we could give a better opinion on it. or if someone was nice enough, they could photoshop something up for you

Do it in gunmetal or something, white would look way too out of place.

Yea Gun Metal would look best. If you do something like white or silver it would just stand out too much and not look good IMO.
