Default Re: Opinions on future paint mods..

I'm doing red and black too, with a 2005 Base Model Black Coupe.

I changed all of the interior lights to red LEDS (9 LED wedge bulbs x2 for map lights, 9 LED Festoon bulb x1 for cargo light, 19" LED strip on the inside of the cab, directly behind the license plate).

I also changed out the corner lights (parking lights, "eyebrow" lights) to 6 LED red wedge bulbs.

Painting my emblems black and i'm going to take a paint brush and do a paint splatter type look in red paint on them this weekend. (Black background, red splatter).

Also going to paint my fog light covers (no fog lights, since.. base model )

I'll post pics when i'm done


Also, i've gone through various color combinations, (Ultraviolet/Purple, Blue, Green, Red) and red is by far my favorite. Personal opinion though. I'm also thinking about getting the Oracle brand halo headlight kit in red and then spraying the housing black to match the paint.

Anyway, pics to come.. but I say just GO FOR IT (as long as you're not painting expensive pieces).

P.S. As for the rims, I was going to try and pick up a set of SRT rims, have them powdercoated black, and try to locate some red lug studs and just leave the center caps off. That way it'd add a splash of red without having to do a generic pinstripe, or some other cheap mod. Although I do like the red caliper idea! Consider getting the caliper covers (I think they look nice)... i'm ranting
