logan1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 My car is painted a viper red and I need to pick a color for my front air dam, ZG flares, and hatch louvers. The logical chose would be to paint them gloss or flat black. But this combination has been done to death. I am looking for opinions on alternate colors to paint my front air dam, ZG flares, and hatch louvers that would look good on a red car.

inZane 240 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) 1977 BMW anthracite. But then your card would look similar to mine... Edited January 12, 2011 by inZane 240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What color are your wheels? My vote would be to keep the air dam the same red as the body, and go with the flares in a darker metallic grey/gunmetal. The anthracite inZane posted is nice. Personally, I would go a little darker with it. Another option is body color flares or white if you're feeling bold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Red with silver, gray, or black accents will work. Unless you want a flashy sponsored look in which case anything goes. Air dam should be either body color or black IMHO. Flares can go any level of silver-gray-smoke-black. By silver, I mean something matte silver to make them look like brushed aluminum. Red/silver works Edited January 12, 2011 by cygnusx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 IMO the airdam needs to be body color, otherwise it'll just look like an afterthought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan1 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm thinking about doing a fake carbon fiber wrap. That way the flares and the air dam will match my CF sparrow tail spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z2go Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 IMO, whatever you do, make the accents match. If you have a CF tail and silver flares and air dam, it will definitely look like separate projects on one car. If you can match the tail, air dam, flares, and any other accents, it will look like just that... accents to your car. For mine, my color is 07 corvette orange, and I'm going with flat black ("done to death" as you said ), so if and when I do a spoiler... and fender flares, they too will match the trim and taillight backing, etc. I think if you can accomplish this, no matter what color you choose it will look good, and classy.
