Needs red!

Now that my rims are one its time to change somethings. I originally planned on getting flat black rims and going all black on the car. But the rims I ended up with have a red lip.

Now to get more red on the car to go with them. Any ideas? Ive already thought of red lugs but thats about it.

red grill stripe as several of us have. Maybe some red side pinstripe on the sides? Red your T badges or backgrounds. Calipers/drums painted red. Red TN decal from Jim!

Ill have to find the grill stripe thread thats a good idea i forgot about that. Calipers are on the list. I dunno how i feel about the pinstripe though. I was also thinking of a red vvti decal

grill pinstripe is SUPER EASY! Heck, i've done it twice! white and black, lol. Just buy some 1/4" pinstripe in red from Autozone/AdvanceAuto/etc and put it on the edge of the bumper next to the grill. Or you could even leave a little gap for more accent to let your black show behind the red. I will be doing this this weekend when I move out my black pinstripe to accent it more and let MGM show behind it as well.

VVTi decal might be a good option, but def hit up Jim for a TN decal. Get some red and support/promote the site!

I like your choice. I was trying to decide between a set very similar to those. (Drag DR-34) and the TRD Black 5 spoke. I decided to go with the TRD Black 5 spoke. Definitely red out the front emblem. I would pain the calipers red and you can even purchase some good pads in red. Get the TRD brake pads or the EBC Red stuff (Good quality) with some EBC Sport rotors.

i didnt take it off, just bad quality photos, and when you're putting the vinyl on the emblem make sure you don'y put any on the bumps. all of the vinyl has to go on the flat surface to stick and not peel unless you sand the whole thing down like Dim. if you do it the way i did its gona seem like none of the red is gona show when you actually put the emblem back on, but it does

I didn't sand the bumps down but I covered the entire surface with red vinyl & than the black just had to stick to the red vinyl which it has over the entire winter without issue. I did take it off though as it made working on it much easier & only took a minute to pop it off.

Who said I sanded it down?

I just got some good quality vinyl, hasn't peeled on me at all.
