Going to the dark side or not
Finally finished upgrading side skirts, and bumpers.
 Now, the question is: Shall I get those chrome out and put black all around as well as sending those rims for mate black treatment? Your feedback please! Thanks |

I'd go black. Just because of DC_Oldboy's car looks menacing in red and black.

Red and Black is probably one of the best combo's in my opinion. Do It!

Yes! Chrome delete and black. I agree with SaM335ic with that color combo.

To the OP, turn everything chrome into gloss black. Matte black is meh. And as much as I like black wheels, you should leave it alone. It looks refreshing to see a red car without black wheels lol.

Car looks great but get rid of those awful side markers. Wheels won't look good matte. Leave em

Black it out, but id go with regular LCI rear tails, those are a bit much! Other than that looks good

 I'd get rid of the chrome but don't touch the wheels. Those wheels look perfect with your color and everyone has black on nowadays. You could plastidip to see how you would like it, but I doubt it will look as good as the current setup. Maybe get some spacers to clean up that gap? |

Love the color, ditch the side markers and tails. Id say go gloss black on the trim and maybe gloss black on the wheels as well. Gold wheels could be interesting with that color too

Thanks
Thank you for your feedback guys.
I will eliminate all the chrome and keep the wheels as it is. With the side markers, they will meet their demise a year from now, then going back to smoke oem shape |

black plastidip window trim took me about 5 hrs (1 hr of work, 4 of letting it sit). Looks great, inexpensive, and removable.
