Color Scheme question
Seat, door panals, shift boot in leather $920 (got hooked up on that)...all the solid blue i painted with vinyl paint ($30)...yellow is spray paint for plastic ($20). Those pics are like a year old...more stull is colored now.
id say go with a white on red theme, red is one of those colors that will never get tacky in the furture quite like blue, green, or orange for example might, black usually turns out well, but you have a white car and any type of accent color will complete the look but i have to agree with sirlancealot and stick with only one color
What do you mean by "stick to one color"? No matter what the engine compartment will have atleast 3 colors, and black is already in there. Red is my accent color. Too much red and it will make it look cheap, that is why instead of opening the hood to see a big red rectangle of a valve cover, I was thinking a black, classy, stealthy looking valve cover with detailed letters and red accent stripe. This with a red intake manifold between the valve cover and the firewall will look smart and not like I just went crazy with a can of red spray paint. Also cleaning up the wiring will help alot too.
Again with the interior, it is already black, I am just trying to tie the whole scheme together with a few touches of red and replacing the factory plastic look-a-like aluminum with real brushed aluminum pieces. Anyway, I am gonna try it since I think it will look good and no one has really told me any better than stock or red. If it sucks, I'll post pics and you can roast me, but I think it will look better than you think it will. Thanks for the input guys, I am not devaluing you opinions, but as I said earlier, paint is cheap!! So, I might as well try it out.
Thanks Again!!

guess its just not my style. i would rather have it all one color with just a few pieces done in an accent color.
deed its a great idea. its ambitious but FUGLY ...why would u mix those colors in that way...anyways. i really think a cf might look nice.. only because no matter what cf stands out! and i said a shiney black would work!
Well, the black didn't really look like I had hoped when it was done
, so without even taking a picture I stripped it back down and hit it with red
. Since I couldn't get the black-stealth look to work I shaved off the two front brackets that hold the throttle cable and trimmed some off of the ignition coil brackets and feathered in thier edges intop the top. Though I think I will need to get rid of a few of the smaller red pieces to balance it all out, it looks pretty good, especially with out the two brackets on the front. I'll get some pics up after I detail the emblem and lettering.... White or a white outline Mitsu emblem, and Black Lettering. Anyway, gotta go clean up my mess, thanks again for all the help!
