Default Overlay Theme for Black TA

Hello everyone. right now on my black TA i have all red overlays as you can see in my sig. I am looking at getting my wheels all polished over the winter and maybe switching my overlays to all reflective silver. Think that would look better or what theme do you think would look best? Thanks!

I did silver, and I like the look, but am thinking of changing to gold, silver and red are kinda common, but I haven't seen a black 4th gen with gold stripes/trim (2nd gen style)

You can buy the whole kit ( or most of it anyway) at fourthcircledesigns.com thats where I got mine from , the prices are great, the quality is good and the customer service is incredible.

How about a shade of blue or something different than same ol' silver or red. Nothing wrong with silver or red, it would just be cool to have something different.

I may be crazy but I would love to see you polish your wheels and get the red clear powder coat on them. My friend did that on his bike and it looks sick.

It worked on the 99 anv. T/A cars.

Yea im starting to think that everyone and there brother does silver..... Anything else i can change appearance wise along with fully polishing my wheels (dont want to try a red thing, not my taste). Think some red blackbird stripes takes too much away from my clean look? Or how about some reflective red overlays? Think that would be too flashy? Or i could go dark and remove all badges and go for jsut the all black look? Decisions Decisions......

I think if I didnt go for the red look I would have blacked everything out, I blacked out just my third brake light not too long ago and I LOVE the way it looks. I am thinking about blacking out some more stuff and keeping the red as well. But you may want to explore blacking everything out and debadging as well.

But if you decide to keep with the red you can check out my cardomain site for some ideas
