Newbie ... need some opinions

Hello ...

I purchased an EVO VIII in black and have been thinking about adding some color ... nothing crazy. I would like to know what you guys think ... I dont want to make it look ricy in no means. But let me know your thoughts.

I seen an EVO in Graphite Grey and it had front lip, side extentions and rear caps all in black. The car looked sweet as hell. I wanted to know if switching the colors would look good ... Black Evo with Graphite Grey Voltex Generators at the top and lip, side extenions, and rear caps in Graphite Grey as well. Also black glossy wheels.

it's your car and your opinion...why ask us?

if you think it will look sweet then do it

personally, I think it'll look stupid

black accents you can get away with...any other color on black, no

I third the motion. Do what you feel looks good though, its your ride! And besides, with some modification you will beat most things on the street, so they wont be seeing you for long...

Hell no... IMO that would look stupid. The only things that you should every change on a black car are maybe the wheels. and that's not taking the head/tail lights and side markers into accout. just change out the color of your emblems mabye and that's that. differentiating your TB evo is one thing, but i don't know what your try'n to do with the two tone.

Get some black wheels, blacked out tail lights, dark tint, and go full on Knight Rider.

How will you know if it will look good if you don't try it. If nobody ever tried anything different, and cared so much about what everyone else thought about their ideas, everyone would be driving the same looking car. If you try a new look and don't like it, change it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Try out photoshop is way to go. Seriously, its 50/50. Fail or full of sexy, but it is cost a too much to just try out...just my two cents.

I don't think itd look too bad, they are both dark(ish) colours and could be used in exchange with moderation. I think the voltex generator in GG would look dope (kinda carbon look) but watch when you start changing body parts, people will start to think you bought the wrong colour for cheep and gunna paint it in the future, may not look right. i think the generator and thats it, but you never know, PROOVE THESE DUDES WRONG! because it hasn't been done doesn't meen its gunna be ****, be a leader not a follower!
