Ok guys should be getting my ws6 hood soon and getting my car repainted. I know i want bb stripes and my car is the typical black and red scheme. I'm thinking I want to do something new because let's face it everybody and the grandmother has done black and red. I said I was going to do away with the red altogether and go with matte black bb stripes, PONTIAC overlay, and calipers. But I just think that you will never notice it and I'm scared I won't like it and I'm going to have them painted on so it's not like I can just pull them off. So I've been playing with idea of black and grabber blue. Grabber blue bb stripes, PONTIAC insert, and doing a cts-v brake swap and powder coating them grabber blue and powder coating my wheels gun metal. I want something new and that will pop. And I'll admit I love the color scheme of the new gt500. So what is you opinions on a black and grabber blue fbody?


Not my car but you get the idea.

 

I wouldnt do the grabber blue. Do the silver from the CTSV calipers for the bb stripes and fill ins

 

what is that blue that is on the zr1s , i would maybe look into to that ,

 

Zr1 blue is a possibility.

 

I say do purple to match your Grimace avatar lol.

 

idk man, playing around with ideas around here gets your nuts chopped off

 

Yea I know man. Ls1tech home of same set up done 100k times and were they kill different.

 

The ZR1 blue would look sick! Or the supersonic blue from GM

 

I think that is a bit exaggerated

You know what is annoying?


When someone (like you) posts a thread asking for peoples opinions... and then when you get them, you just say LS1Tech just wants to mold you into something tasteful, and you'll do it anyway...

Fine, but if you know what "we" are gonna say, why would you ask for opinions...?

 

Dude chill it was a joke between me and _z_ from when everybody was telling him to make his car look like an ss. As for calling me annoying and talking garbage next time realize what your saying before talking stupid.

 

And for the record I've taken the one Opionion given in to consideration.

 

Would you also do the calipers in the same color or keep them silver?

 

They will be powder coated the color of the BB stripes.

 

Okay, as far as your question, I dont like the grabber blue... looks okay in your picture, but a quick google brought a baby blue... ehhh....


as far as your comment that everyone has done black and red... idk. I think TOO MANY people have dont red with black... but black with red accents I think would be cool, as long as it was minimal. The other colors suggested: Supersonic blue - that could be cool.

Personally, I wanted to keep it simple, and stay on the gray scale. silver, gunmetal, black. I think it looks awesome, but sometime I ponder what life would be like with a little color.. lol

A thorough color sheme, (whichever color you choose) will be awesome, and the car will just seem complete.


Sorry for being so brash before.

 

Nevermind what people say- your car ,you do what you want. Go for it!

 

It's cool man I get the same way from time to time. The more I think about grabber blue the more I don't really like it but the more I look at supersonic blue it grows on me. It's just dull enough not to be out there in your face 24/7 and different. It will flow nicely with a black car I believe.

 

That blue would look really good. Wouldnt say look at me but would be subtle and sleek looking.

 

^ yea that's what I'm think also.

 

That blue has my vote

 

X2 it would look awesome on the calipers and bb stripes
