Default What a good color to mix with red?

I'm thinking of using black accents with a little chrome on red.

What works well with red? (Colors and mods)

Black/Red always looks good imo. I don't think I've seen a red/flat black theme yet though. I'm thinking it'd look good though.

I like how the Whistler mod and LT1 tails look on red, just to give you some ideas. Maybe some tinted front corners with the LT1 tails to get rid of amber altogether?

I think you should try a different color than black though, just to see what it looks like. It seems like everyone does black/red/chrome. But honestly, I can't think of any other colors off the top of my head that would go well with red, except white. I'm sure there are plenty though.. Good luck

i think black looks good as long as its complimented by the black berger panel and black wheels. I say go chrome if you are going to stick with chrome wheels

Metallic silver or metallic gold might look nice. Not the "gold plated" look, but gold paint.

Charcoal, Polished finish, brushed finish, too many people have black, Charcoal is the best IMO.

NOT gold plated, but paint, think of the old Bill Elliot Coors Nascar color scheme, red with the gold PAINTED wheels....I think it looked good.
