I've seen quite a few blue and white & Blue and black combinations with the blue bolts. I would recommend going something brighter though like white. White/black/blue might be kind of cool!

Stick with red, the blue that I have seen that sticks out is too light and looks like crap with a deep blue paint job.

i think bronze will look good. i think red clashes. looks dumb. blue to matching. looks dumb. silver would look good, white would look good. idk y people are saying you should hard core clash colors.. have it match the car not stand out from the car. would you put red parts anywhere else on the car? i woulnt. just looks dumb. stay with colors that match in my opinion. bronze wont match really but i can just see that looking good. basically because it wount be so bright and stand out.
