Gag. Do something that is a little less harsh like silver or dark blue. black and red TAs have been way overplayed.

This is an old picture but you get the idea. I had the red on my car for a few years and ditched it recently. I've now shaved the side emblems, gone to clear corners with leds and done MINIMAL chrome accents (nose bird and rear only pretty much).

I liked it with red but I think the new look is way better. I won't have a lot of good pictures ready until I get a little paint work done on a bumper scrape and finish up with my fogs and then detail. Should be done as soon as the weather gets warmer finally.

yeah I'm liking it a lot better without the emblems, I almost want to pull the side moulding too but with the places I have to park all the time my doors would get dinged up really really fast I'm sure.

Here's mine with Red/Silver combo. Not overlays - I actually bought (2) pairs of emblems for each color (1 Red/1 Silver) then mixed and matched:

look at my pic again. ill post up better ones if you want, but thats the red bird on the plate cover. differance is i got the reflective vinyl, and it was dark enough outsite for it to actually reflect. in any kind of bright daylight, it just looks red. another idea is to try yellow, or silver/stainless steel. i prefer red though. yellow looks too contrasting and flashy. silver or steel.....not bad either way.

I can post up pics of mine with the chrome some time depending on how patient you are. Like I said I need to wait for it to warm up so I can take care of a few things with the car first.

Your car looks great...
but I think it would look better if you VHT'd your side markers to match your blackouted taillights, gave you windows a light tint, and if you took some of those stickers off of your rear windshield.

Thanx for the compliment!

I have GTS Blackouts for my front turn signals to match the rears but like the clear side markers.

Actually have a good shop to tint the windows for a good price - even does the rear window in one piece, and over the defroster grid without any problems. My buddy had his done last year - I just never seem to get around to having it done.

As for the stickers - those are old pics - stickers are gone...
