Need opinions on what color to use

[JakeDrummer]

Hey Everyone, I'm getting the bug to start early on my teg and start tweaking stuff on it even though its the middle of winter. Anyhow I ran into a problem, what color do I use to accent. You know, the color of my CAI, plastic wire tubes under the hood, hoses, aluminum motor accents, and other aluminum crap I put in the car. I want to eventully carry that color i choose into my interior when I buy seats and harnesses. And I want my neon accents to go with it also. I know this can go both ways... either rice or nice, and I am striving to make it nice. Anyhow its your everyday black integra GSR, black interior, and I am planning on gunmetal or black rims. Help me out guys, I really appreciate it.

for a black car, i say go for the red. the combination of red and black is sweet and so is blue and white, but since your car is black, the second is out of the pic.

black

or red...goes great with black.

or do it differently...try yellow to really contrast the black color of your car.

yeah i want to stay away from yellow... something about that color and performance just says rice to me. Let me explan... there is a black 92-95 civic in town that has all the exterior trim painted yellow, plus he has two yellow racing stripes down the middle. everyone calls it "the bumble bee" and let me tell you... even though it is well known and doesn't look all THAT bad, it's still major league rice.


Thanks guys for your opinions so far!!! I really appreciate it.

Whatever you do, I suggest staying away from neon lights. That is one of the more ricey things you can put on your car IMO.

i have to disagree i know someone that got blue underglow proffessionally installed on his probe and at night those things look sweet as hell. as long as you dont have a crap install and the rest of your car isn't riced out it don't think neons would be rice at all

the key i think to having a good interior is do it in good taste, don't go overboard with to many accents of neons, just make it nice and subtle

I guess i'm just more of a Go than a Show guy.

yeah i am only going to put neons under the dash. I agree, neons can look sweet or very very ricey
