Smile Vent and brake caliper color? suggestion?

I have yellow brake calipers, ram air and side vents, ram air stickers, and the trans am and phoenix on the back between the taillights. I had the whole black and yellow theme and it looks pretty snazzy. but i currently wrecked the front of my car (drunk) and the only yellow remaining after getting it repaired is the sticker on the back. which is getting faded anyways so I was going to go ahead and do a little color change. car is black, with black c6 rims (soon to have c6 z06, black). I intend to keep it the same having all of the above painted my new color

The three options I was looking at were orange, lime green, and yellow.

What do you guys think would be the most "WOW" looking?

None. With those colors there is no WOW, it would look cheesy, dude.

Car is black, go with dark grey, graphite, even silver but orange??

Calipers would look good in red IMO.

In the end its your car....

Yeah i lean to more subtle stuff the other would look cheesy and cheap i agree. I don't like red calipers personaly so i would go with above ^ black/grey/silver those look the best imo..

Lime green would be unique and look pretty good if done right.

none of the above, I also agree all of those colors look cheap and cheesy. I'd say stick with black vents, and as for the calipers, I polished mine but that's not for everyone, especially with black rims. I've never been a fan of painted calipers, unless they are high end calipers.

Black looks good with ANY color.........if done right of course. But black/silver takes my vote.
