Default Painting TA lettering, calipers, and side grills?

Who all has done it and what color? I'd like to do red but it's been done in my hometown so I'm thinking NO. I saw one of your guys' 'Bird w/ Yellow and looked totally BADASS. But I'm still trying to think of something different. I'm thinkin of going with a silver or even a "chrome" paint. What do you all think? Anyone have some pictures? Thanks guys.

What color is your car? If it's black, I think a nice royal blue would look sick. If it's silver, maybe a navy blue.. If it's red, maybe silver. I think AfterthoughtsAuto has chrome inserts, don't they?

I have a pewter TA and I did the side letters and grills in chrome from Afterthoughts. They are actually chrome plated and look great compared to stickers or paint.

It is subtle and looks factory.

Just an option.

Man, sorry, can't believe I forgot the color. My TA is black. Sorry 'bout that. Oh, and SSG--Z28, what you mean by Navy blue lookin 'sick'? Or did you mean 'slick'? Sorry, little slow today <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> And 'Afterthoughts', where can I find them, what's the web address? Thanks guys.
