Need some red exterior accents on my car

I Vtec, do you? · 05-11-2008, 11:10 PM

Right now I have black wheels with a red lip. I got it because I liked how it matched the interior black/red theme, but now I'm kind of wishing I had some red accents on the outside that kind of went with the red lip. I'm thinking about painting my calipers red.. and possibly doing the red H badges. Don't really want any red light overlays.. is there anything else that looks good that I could do?

replace the i-vtec stickers with red ones? (just a thought)

Red lugs?

I did both of these as well as the red H badges. You can always powdercoat some wheels red, on the right wheels, it looks great. You've got a TW Si correct?

Maybe you should be more worried about red accents INSIDE the car, possibly ones that could be seen from the outside. (Red racing seats, some subtle lighting, etc.)

Going overboard on red accents doesn't make them accents anymore, it makes them ugly!

Just be careful with what you choose man....keep that thing clean!

well....that would be unique.

red badges
paint calipers red
I'm guessing that youre car is black so get the red i-vtec sticker

then you should be set

maybe the red lugs, maybe

I Vtec, do you? · 05-12-2008, 05:03 PM

I just decided to do the calipers red along with the red H badges. Might do the red interior lighting down the road, possibly the lugs as well.

I think he meant the 'right wheels' as in certain types of wheels look good red, others don't. Not just the wheels on the right side of the car lol

On the right KIND of rims, it looks good.

I agree with RCKola, first it starts with add a little more red here and there, then you end up with red neon underbody lights and red tints. Just leave it be.

That's the beauty of it being my car, I get to decide

If I want neons, damnit I'll have neons!

the csx in canada has these lights under the doors that light up when you open them and im sure you could rig that up pretty easy on our coupes, how bout red for that?

modified · 05-13-2008, 03:19 AM

-red H badges front and rear
-black wheels with red lip
etc...
pretty much like what other people said but I don't really like the red i-vtec stickers but hey it's your car bro do as you like! Maybe you could paint the sides of your hood red if you know what I mean lol

I Vtec, do you? · 05-13-2008, 03:25 AM

Yeah I'm not feeling the red vtec stickers either. I'm doing the calipers (hopefully it comes before this weekend). Red badges eventually.. I'll call it good after that.

Good luck man! And be sure to post some pixs after you're done installing/painting those things!
