Yeah. I was thinking blue would look good.. at least the same shade of blue as your Volk stickers.

Yellow!

I need the photoshop guys to help me out!

djtodd · 11-26-2013, 10:14 PM

I'd say red or black. Or anodized like this...

I'll see what I can do and post up later. I will only do the blue though.lol

SPOHN · 11-27-2013, 01:21 PM

Matte Red no doubt.

speedfreek · 11-27-2013, 01:37 PM

burnt orange

Here is a quick one with blue. I can do a better job, but gives enough visual imo. I will switch it to red as well as that one was highly mentioned.

XPNSD IT · 11-27-2013, 02:01 PM

Here is the red. Please remember neither of these were done with great detail. And both will look 10x better. But just overall perspective.

ElVee · 11-27-2013, 02:28 PM

I'd go red for the poll above, but I think even normal red would be fine. Yellow would be nice, too. White is too busy and Gunmetal/black/silver too boring.

Edit: Just from a design/style standpoint, your main colors are red and black, so they'll match just fine, even if the red isn't matte. But you can also try to match the ancillary colors, which basically are silver (door, lights) or yellow (turn signal lights), and it'll still pretty much match. I just think yellow or even red are more interesting.

What brakes are you going to run, Akeboners?

Considering your primary colors are red and black I would just play it safe and go with gloss red (you didn't have that as an option

)

The brakes are already gloss red. Sounds like I may be able to keep a little money in my pocket!

ituan · 11-29-2013, 10:42 AM

my vote goes to yellow or brembo gold

Apoc370z · 11-29-2013, 11:31 AM

Not going to upgrade the calipers?

I would vote for matte red as well, or red in general. You already have the matte red and black theme going on, adding a different color might look a bit weird imho
