Need help deciding what color skirts I should get.

I am planning to purchase a set of ZL1 Skirts and splitter for my Blue 2SS. First I should say that my main color scheme I am going for is Blue on Black with Red accents. I am torn with this decision though. I plan to put black rally stripes with red hood vents and the red sema grill. I also plan to put the black wheels with red pinstriping around the rim. I already have the redline Camaro fender emblem and the red fuel door. Right now I just want some feedback as I can't make up my mind and I don't want to waste money. I have included crappy photoshop pics of what I am talking about. Note these are the 1LE ground effects and the ZL1 ground effects look slightly different.

I think getting them in red would be a little too much Red, I would recommend doing them in black and adding the red accents elsewhere, the grill like I have looks great, and maybe do a red outline on your stripes, I think the red hood vents would look a bit strange personally. I have the ZL1 Sideskirts painted satin black to match the splitter and diffuser on my 1LE

Thats exactly what I am thinking, I want that grill with the black racing stripes plus red upper grill.

I would do black. I think red would be just too much. Here’s a pick of mine, although it’s not blue, but you can get an idea of what black with red accents would look like.

See I wasn't sure if that would fit the SS. Also I think the upper grill kinda hides from the world so it would be nice to have red there.

I also thought that red accents on a blue car would look good.. but after looking in details... it looks like Spiderman's car... haha.

I'd go black.

If you had more red and less black I think red/blue would look great

However, with the vents, grills, etc being black I think it puts off the red and makes it look weird

I plan on adding the red grill and red vents with black stripes but I think I'll just keep the ground effects black and keep the red accents to a minimum

I'd say if you go off of FNxR3DNECK's car you'd be set I'd suggest red line wheels tho
