Default opinions wanted..

What do you guys think of this idea? Currently I am running all yellow accents, Thinking of having all accents painted a VIPER STEEL GREY fading into SILVER. Thoughts/comments welcome.

the fade is a bit much. the yellow looks much better. stay with yellow or go with red or orange or some bright color like that

I think ultra white looks good in the running lights myself, just as long as its not a clear lens with a riced blue bulb or something.

I think you should do what you are planning. Dont take peoples bad opinions on your ideas, telling you they would not do it. I looks good and it is different. Great idea. Fog covers would be sweet also imo.

You already know how I feel about your car I think...
I wouldn't change one thing about it.

honestly i like how your car looks with the yellow, but i think it would look sick as hell with the silver graphics. i say do it.

It'll fade into the crowd IMO with the gray/silver idea. As badass as it looks, those are probably the 2 easiest colors to accent black with.

You've done a tasteful job w/ the yellow, and I say keep it. If nothing else, make the yellow fade (like on the tips of the bird) to a bright silver metallic. That'll probably be cheaper, and it'll still stand out. Ive never been much on black & yellow, but you've done an extremely tasteful job with it and I see no reason to change.

The picture in the very first post looks awesome. It's more subtle, but no one does the fade, and it really helps it pop. I like it much better than the yellow. I'd do it.

The yellow does look nice, but so does your idea about the silver. So it's a win/win situation, my post didn't help at all

I like the gray to white fade.
Never been one for yellow.
There is a black TA at my work that has neon green accents....horrible
