> [@JRubino](#): > > Shouldn’t have done it in the first place! :ponder well, a lot of ppl were on Travis’ case about the pink, but like, if OP does more car parts in blue it becomes an accent vs a focal point and it will look okay actually. like if you replace all tubing with blue silicone, and get bushings that are the same color, maybe some blue wire looms, blue springs in the suspension, small usefull things like that, THEN its goin to look proper. at least thats what i’d see it as. i want bronze wheel because black/gold is always a nice looking combo, but i sure as hell am not doing gold wheels. not just because of cost, but because it will just look wrong, even if its fake gold and doesnt cost as much. bronze will be sweet though. to me personally, flat black, gunmetal or something in that general range looks excellent with silver cars. but like i said, other parts need to match it. flat black grills and accents, dark tint and overall it becomes a nicely appointed car ---
