I have been going nuts trying to figure out what color accent for my car. Just about anything will work with the dark blue. I don't know if i just want to do chrome. Ya know, want to have something different then what i pass on the way to work.

Exterior Accent only, grilles, badge overlays, etc.

Windows will be tinted 20% within a month or 2.

Also ** I am thinking either going with a black taillight or L.E.D. and maybe clear or black for the front.

I just can't picture it without putting it on and i can't afford to buy all that stuff.

Thanks

Like you said, anything will go with that.

Yellow or Red are the easiest because they have the most accents available in those colors (I'm thinking like plug wires, coil packs, etc).

I think a gold color would look like with the blue too.

You can pick anything and it will look good with that blue.

I have the same color car, and I've been thinking about painting the calipers red, red plug wires, and so on. To me, silver seems too quiet of a color. I would rather have something that will catch your eye, but distract completely away from the car.

I'm planning on a silver theme eventually only because red plug wires/calipers/etc won't go with the redfire paint. So I'm pretty much stuck with silver or gold. I'm going for silver.

yeah,im not a big gold fan, I would stick with silver..

As for it being flat, I like the accent color more flat, not something that flashes at you. Im into being more of a "sleeper" I guess

Silver, or if you really want to catch an eye, go yellow... I always thought that would look good.

i am thinkin white, don't know how the grille would look (cause i just painted them silver) but i could make a cheap chromer for the time being.

Look at that gustman sticker on the back. Yes it is ugly and i have to take it off if it ever stops raining but that white just pops. Clean color but not quite a sleeper color.
