Default What color blackbirds?

see poll above

I have a black '02 WS6

So I'm guessing I'd have to remove my Ram Air stickers if i get the vinyl.

i'm not really sure if i want to get these yet. I have a red theme going on, but i would like to see the gun metal or reflective black. can't find pictures of those


okay so i have to edit this b/c the Poll didn't create:

red
gun metal
reflective black

any pics of ur car as it is right now? wondering how much red u have on the car as is. gunmetal sounds the cleanest, but red might look really good if u have a decent bit of other red. u could try requesting a photochop of both on ur car

i haven't seen any pics of a gunmetal or reflective black! i gotta find some

as far as red, i have red brake calipers, and red gauges

so really not much red

thinking about adding red lights to the nostrils but i dont know, it seems like a lot of modification that I don't want to do, plus my nitrous purge comes through there, so I'm probably out of room!

Charcoal would give a nice ghost look to it.

silver, graphite or white. Black/red and black/white are classic scheme's, and are proven to work well together but I like the contrast more between black and the other 3, than black/red.

See sig pic, that's silver on a black WS6
If you've already decided on a color theme, then I would tend to stick with it, it'll look odd to be black & red then suddenly go with some totally different color (tho the reflective black would probably be subtle enough no to cause a problem)
BTW the red lights (and some times blue as well) in the nostrils will probably be considered illegal (especially if you have them lit while driving around. Or will they be for shows only?), check it out before going to all the effort

can you pm me more pics of your car? i'd like to see that. do you have the blackbirds? where'd u get 'em?

I've got red brake calipers, so i don't know if i should get red stripes, or go with the silver. I like the silver on your car

yeah the lights i'm having doubts. it looks awesome, but i'd want it on all the time
