Is there a color scheme yet? I vote either red, black or dark blue.

pick a color scheme now and stick with it.

I'd go white/red, or white/hugger orange and put the same color stripes on the car.

I'd go red or dark blue, and as Nine Ball said: put the same color stripes on it.

I was gonna say black, red, or dark blue also. I say go with the dark blue. It would look great with the white and it's not nearly as common as black or red.

If you know how to dress yourself in the morning, this should be easy. Match it... white with red? I dont think that would look good, unless you have other red stripes etc on your white car. White with blue/black. I think would be the best. Red car with black rims? Go red calipers to make them stand out. Red car with chrome rims? Either black (thats what I have) or red. Its all in your taste, but it looks better when it matches. The only reason I didnt do red is because it isnt the same red as my car color. Good luck!
