That car would look 100 times better without the bright red subframe connector sticking out like a sore thumb. Nobody wants to see the frame of a car, paint that sucker black

On some colors, I like the subframes to show so I guess at least two people do.

yeah, and on some cars people like neon tubes there too!

I guess painted frames remind me of the 4x4 world. The hillbillies around here like to do body lifts on their old trucks and take a can of krylon and paint their frames bright colors.

Much Cleaner looking:


Or, worse looking :

Well your opinion rules all, Tony.

FWIW, I don't care for them on an NBM car but I've seen red SFCs on black and white cars and I do like them both. I guess I must be a redneck or a ricer, eh?

Also, what's the difference in painting the caliper red? What about having a red panhard bar that can be seen from the back? Why would BMR, Hotchkis, Spohn, etc. powdercoat any of their stuff red? They all must be shotgun weilding rednecks too.

Anyway, don't beat the guy up and make comments like he's the only person on the planet to be dumb enough to have red SFCs.

nah, suspension stuff looks cool if the color matches the car. I don't consider subframes as suspension however, they are basically the frame of your car if you have them on there. I just don't like seeing frames, they take away from the beautiful lines of the car. Just an opinion, no biggie.

BTW, I'm getting all BMR stuff in silver for my '98 Navy blue car. But, the subframes will be black

This was off a friend of mines 97 Hendrick Edition SS, it was Sebring Silver, He had installed a black panel on his, then his car was totaled in an accident. I told him I wanted his old panel to see if it looked good or not. I did not like the plain blue all the way around, and I think it really makes the vehicle stand out. This picture was in lower light of course, and much more offset to give a better idea of the color contrast.
