What type of accents are you thinking of? Stripes? Logos? Wheels?

I have never really liked black accents on a car that is dark. They will get lost in the already dark color. I much prefer silver or gunmetal (or polished wheels).

Wheels & Badge stand out:


Gunmetal Logos:



Painted some engine stuff gunmetal:

Polished Aluminum on my car. Love it. Black would blend way too much in. You wouldn't notice it.

I think black goes great with NBM, but since your already rocking chrome wheels I'd say just throw a set of SS overlays all around. I don't think black accents with chrome wheels would be a good combo, but if you switched to some black wheels go for it. If you just want a different look I'd say go with emblem pro's SS overlays but get them in black etched. Once I finally get my car as fast as I'd like it to be I plan on going murdered out, kinda like a rebirth/transformation to the next level. Thinking some gloss black 18" C5 DD's with emblem pro's new ONYX black mirror stainless overlays.

The only black accents that I think would look good on NBM is machined face wheels.

I bought my NBM TA with silver blackbird stripes, silver Trans Am logos, silver front Firebird logo, and silver rear center tail light overlay. Just like you I was thinking about switching to flat black or gloss black accents, but Im not sure how it would look..

Since that pic Ive had the hatch and side windows tinted with 35% tint. Ive also thought about picking up some clear side markers and throwing a couple coats of nightshade on them. That might look good. I dont really like flashy accents, I like the accents to more or less flow with the rest of the car.

I would switch wheels if I went with a black theme. The way it is now I would rather go SS but Im kinda at a stand still on where to go next.

I think if someone would photoshop the silver accents to black I could decide what direction I want to take. Same with the clear side markers..I'm not sure if Ill hate them or love them.

Old Blue do you have any more pics of your accents/emblems? Your car looks awesome. Also what kind of graphic is on the side of your hood? I want to ditch my silver blackbird stripes, but haven't decided what I want to put in their place.

Those all look great on your car. Are those covers on your rear tail lights or are they nightshaded? I like them alot.

I think I may look into the Black Onyx line for my car.
