that burple looks good though.

but yah, i still think a dark metalic color would make it look nice. let the wheels stand out and not clash with the background for max emphasis.

You would have to ask Mike since I asked him for the same color he had done for a friend.

Mirror Red. I have customers who have had them 5+ years and say they still look new.

I like that too but I like the crystal red and the candy red.
To the OP the yellow really pops on the MB.

Here we go installed, and the crystal red really pops.
The cooler shade goes really well with the gun metallic.
Thanks Mike!
