Brian, I would really think this out before you lay out your hard earned money, what you might think looks today might look like to you tomorrow. That being said I think a few tasteful items in silver might look nice. JMO

I agree... it is really easy to go overboard with the red.... I would go with the hard parts in red... but the wires in black.. to hide them more. JMO

thanks for the replys. i ordered my STB in red, along with white vinyl stickers to go over the "Trans Am" on the doors and the bird on the front licence plate...i think making those white would just bring out a little detail in the car and make it look nice. all my other suspension pieces will also be red, but don't worry...no red wires and hoses. ill put that money into LCA's. i just can't wait until this car is paid off so i could do some serious modding Thanks again.
