I can't say I've ever seen that color combo before. Maybe do it like a 35th anniversary car and accent the wheels as well.

I don't think the cost would justify the results. I think it would look ok, but you'll have to have all of your parts 2 stage sprayed or do it yourself.

im still debating it. if i ever do it, i would use paint instead of decals, but maybe 35th or ann style strips would look good. i had some pics taken of my car tonight, with all the black accents and i absolutely love them. so its hard to change

Do it! I think it'd look sweet as hell, and definitely unique.

Although i voted yes I agree with stevethepirate on how well colors would match. Basically your taking a flat looking color, white and putting a color on it that is metallic. If anything, orange with white accents would be better. but thats just my .02
