Default Suggestions for accent color(s) for a MRM TA?

I have been thinking on what color(s) to use for accent colors through out the TA. I have a Maple Red Metallic Trans AM. It shows differently in different sunlights, shadows, etc. Here are a few pics of MRM.










I have been tossing charcoal? chrome? stainless?(trouble here is they don't make a bird overly), or even silver or pewter? I was thinking that pewter and polish in a MRM engine bay would look

Any how just searching for your opinions.

Thanks

bob S.

I'd say no overlays at all. It looks great as it is now.

I'm going silver with mine. As long as you don't go overboard with the accenting, most light colors should look okay. White, charcoal, silver, light gray.




I'm going to do my air extractors and PONTIAC fill-in on the back soon. Once I get my Ram Air hood, the silver "Ram Air" decals is all I'd be doing. I was thinking the "Blackbird" stripes would be a little too much for my taste. But good luck with your choice.

A good and I stress GOOD biege or tan, could go well. I do like the silver or charcoal.

Black would be extreemely subtle, White would be too much.

Exactly. I was going to suggest a charcoal, or as the f-body guys call it, gunmetal color. Maybe on the lower part of the TA bumper, like the CETA-style. Plus you could add some stainless lettering for the fill-ins on the back or in place of the badges on the sides. Just my opinion, but I think that'd look sharp!

For MRM?

Only gloss black will do.

After seeing the post by Pontiac Fan, I definitely think you should do gold accents.

No, I can't find any right now.
She goes by VixenTA over on the MFBA board.
I'll see if I can get some photos from her.
