Dark blue accents on pewter?
You guys think it would look alright?
I dont really wanna do black. Black and pewter are extremely played out.
What about like a silver or gray color?
I dont know what to do, pewter is hard

Yea I was thinking the same type of thing. Black is quite overdone on pewter (but it looks sooo good). I don't know if there are any other options that would look killer on it tho. Dark Blue would probably look pretty good though.

Im going with the blue/pewter theme. Black looks really well, but like other said it is over done. I want to see something different. Whatever color you choose to go with can always be changed, so no big deal if it doesnt look good.

Grrr i dont know what to do!
THink i might just try the dark blue and see what it looks like. If i dont like it, like said, above, i can get rid of it.
I would try a photoshop but i think the photoshop would just make it look cheesy.

There was a pewter camaro with blue stripes on Cardomain a while back. The colors looked awesome together. Only thing was the camaro had a huge wing on it so it made the car look weird.

That red doesnt look too bad, but i dont think i would do it.
I might have to throw on a blue manta and see how it looks...Sport it for a while if it looks good and then go with some 35th stripes.

Eh, i really dont care about the calipers. Im sure if i was bored one saturday i would do them, or if i had a wheel that showed them off more.
I would most likely do a manta first, like i said, and later down the road, quite a bit later, probably 35th stripes.

It is hard to find anything else to match. Red doesn't seem to look so bad when in small amounts. As far as stripes go, I don't think anything would look good besides black or a darker grray/charcoal.

All should go pretty well with eachother. If I dont like it Ill change it.
When you plan on doing it? Make sure you get me some pics when you do for sure

Thanks to the oldschool and heritage trans ams I think white and blue are a good combo. You could stick with the same theme and do a darker metallic version. Pewter and dark metallic blue vs whte and blue. Maybe electron blue? I think it would be an awesome combo.
