Reversing the paint scheme would look better. Black with some flat black stripes would look good. If the whole car is flat black it can too much. Plus flat black is really hard to spray and have it look good. Do whatever you like to your car your monay and car after all.

you're gonna spend all that money to repaint the car..pick a nice shiny colour...flat black will look pretty dry in next year or so..the fad is already dying...and then you'll be stuck with wanting to paint the car again b/c it so dull looking.....

Don't care for racing stripes either. Seen some nice two tones.. Black lacquer with alot of clear coat looks good..

thanks what color would look good with either a 5 spoke bronze/gold wheel, 10 spoke alluminum allow wheel? thanks

Black, dark blue, red, white for the brinze... any color will go with aluminum alloy...especially brushed aluminum IMHO

YES that color rules!!!!! lol.

I would go with darker colors for the gold wheels, like black, candy apple red, blue dark blue, orange, or even white. The single stripe can look very nice as well... but the two racing stripes are played out, and look tacky on a jap car. if u really want a nice look, go with all one color, and if u really want the racing stripe, go single. just my .02
