Default Making a car stand out

I just got a 1998 Firebird Formula and want to accent its blue paint job with silver formula lettering, is that a good mix or what other color should I consider mixing blue with?

Neon pink with neon lime-green polka dots tends to stand out if that is your ultimate goal.

Haha, j/k. A lot of people go with silver lettering on the NBM, but I've always thought that black lettering looks much nicer. There is something almost gaudy about the silver lettering if there is too much of it, like the effect you get when you add too much chrome.

Just my opinion.

PS - What about less silvery and more grey in color?

I'm the opposite of you. Silver and blue make a great combo in my biased opinion ; )

Remember sometimes less is more. Remove you badges and molding and make it look clean! I think a clean car looks much better than one that has been cluttered with lettering and stickers everywhere. Just buy the overlays for the rear and remove everything else.
