Opinion needed

I recently got my hood and spoiler wrapped as well as a partial tint on my tail lights side and trunk markers. I like the subtle look of the black wrap on NFG color but my next mod will be to paint the calipers red.

Would adding a red accent around the hood vents be too much?

I'm thinking the red around the hood vents may be a little much, but what about the inside slots of the hood vents? Just the vertical pieces. Otherwise, it may be a little too much

I think painting that chrome strip under the fog lights would be a nice small accent to the calipers. Been wanting to do it to my car also but mine is hyper blue so might not work as nicely as your car.

Can you take some more pictures of your car from the side and the back with the flat black spoiler?

you should post your idea in our photoshop thread to get an actual visual of what you have in mind.

I think red calipers would look pretty cool. any other red accents would start looking tacky, in my opinion.

Not around the hood.

That is what I am going to do on mine. Those chrome strips are driving me nuts since everything on my car is now Black & White lol.

Go buy some cheap red pin striping at Pep Boys and throw it on there and see what you think. It won't hurt the wrap and will take just a few minutes. At least then you can see what it looks like in person at the cost of $3

I think these would look awesome..

photoshop thread so you can hopefully get a visual

Paint for FTMFW! LOL

DougCBJ · 06-02-2016, 09:59 PM

definitely don't do that

fighting irish · 06-02-2016, 10:12 PM

Personally, I think it looks great as it is. If you want some red, caliper paint is classic and would set the wheels off a bit.

Thanks for the opinions. I think I'll leave it as is for now.
