First thing is definitely color match the handles...

Gunzero · 05-03-2010, 11:06 PM

Ahh crazy guy

nogoodname · 05-03-2010, 11:10 PM

Keep the accents as is and just paint all the red to gold. Photoshop it!

fairladyZ34 · 05-03-2010, 11:16 PM

gloss black fangs, gloss black rear valence, and gloss black roof. color matched handles. i think that would be a nice twist

Knives · 05-03-2010, 11:17 PM

Awesome idea, I think it's gonna look really good.

Color match the handles. I think your headlights would be fine, but that's just me.

Btw, wanna just ship me your red tow hook? You'll prob be wanting a gold one.

Bster · 05-04-2010, 12:40 AM

I'd colour match everything except the front and rear diffusor/fangs and shave off the badges!

Remember the ole adage "less is more"

phelan · 05-04-2010, 02:46 AM

simz if it helps i'm color matching my handles eventually. i've got only light front and back matte black accents.

simota1 · 05-04-2010, 04:16 AM

phelan · 05-04-2010, 09:22 AM

whatever the black you're using right now for the accents, use it for the handles imo. can't go wrong with the 19s either, but why not go aftermarket?

rpZ · 05-04-2010, 09:38 AM

I say paint everything gold then gloss black the fangs and rear diffuser, keep the headlights black, then slap on some Gold Volk wheels...
Hey Jon lol...
