Silver fangs?

cgust · 02-11-2013, 09:22 PM

I really love the look of painted fangs! However, almost all the photos I see are of black painted fangs. I own a black cherry and was thinking silver fangs would look good so I did a quick photoshop job of a picture of my car (door handle paint match is photoshop too). What do you guys think? Can anyone else share photos of silver (or anything other than black) fangs? I'd like to see some real examples. Thanks in advance!

Primarily everyone without a black colored Z use the black as an accent color

since you have an already black Z? That won't apply and so trying another color will look kinda weird, But If you like it? who cares

Maybe if your door handles weren't painted, I dunno. Not completely wild about it, but I don't hate it either. As trips said though, it's whatever floats your boat that matters.

I think that looks awesome! Just put a black decal on the fangs to offset it a bit. I would personally do white. Then again I'm pretty out there with car aesthetics.

I've also seen partially painted Fangs which don't look to bad imo. Not sure how this would work out on a black car though.

Holy Christ, is this YOUR car???

No. Not a fan of the daytime running lights to say the least. But the partially blacked out fangs are something i've never seen before. I prefer mine all black, but it's a nice alternative imo.

LOL, THANK GOD FOR THAT!
Because you have a roadster too!!! (But I thought .de isn't for Switzerland, you guys use .ch)
This car you're posting is HIDEOUS, the lights are TERRIBLE...

Yeah partially blacked out is unique, not the worst thing I have seen, but definitely not the best thing I have seen either

I had this done when I had the stock bumper. painted it to match the door handles.

cgust · 02-12-2013, 07:54 AM

Nice Kellyefields! See, I like that. The black lettering is a good idea too. Thanks for sharing! I knew I wasn't the only person to have thought about doin this color scheme. Anyone else have more pics?

I was going to say leave the door handles silver and match the fangs to the door handle to be consistent. It's different, but interesting.

I just painted my fangs silver last night. Once I throw the bumper, I will take a couple photos for you. Should be tonight or tomorrow when I get it back on.

In the mean time, this is how it turned out. Silver on black. Excuse the poor lighting.

I want to do a gunmetal with mine. Black Z's are much harder to find a good contrasting color without it looking silly. I think silver is a safe bet.
