Feedback on what could be a good idea or a bad idea?
So I have been pondering this really bold idea of buying a red sports grill instead of a white one. The red is the same as Adams Red car. I realize I haven't done the most fab PhotoShop job (rushed it). I also Photo Shopped the badge White and Red because that is what I want it to look like.
Thoughts? Please vote and then give me your feedback. Thanks!

Re: Feedback on what could be a good idea or a bad idea?
too much. the red flaps are bold as it is. I'd suggest using red pinstripe and outlining the normal grille...others have done it on darker colors and it works well.
also....I've got a set of UK rally mudflaps in red if you something more authentic than the RA flaps. I ditched my RA's when they got ripped off by the wider tires

Re: Feedback on what could be a good idea or a bad idea?
i think i mentioned this at the meet, but i'm very much against painting the grill badge white. it sticks out too much in contrast to the black of the grill.
the red on the outside of the grill looks too ricey. you're not a ricer. actually, scratch that. it looks like you had to get a grill from a red donor car.
version 2's grill looks much cleaner imo. i'd go with a white grill and either flat black, subaru pink "i" badge, or remove the grill badge altogether.
excuse the crude 5-second photochop.

If you're going to do red/white on the front - keep it to the badge. Though it's polarizing, you're the one driving the car.missvenezuela85 wrote:Thanks everyone!

I prefer a subdued, solid black grill myself. (I agree with Ben. )

but why not dash it with red elsewhere? badgeless grill, red mirror covers (if you must), red caliper paint (super easy), perhaps some time attack wheels with red outline?
or how about a red front lip spoiler? it's pretty easy/cheap to sand a cheapo spoiler and rattle can it whatever color you want.

Re: Feedback on what could be a good idea or a bad idea?
I have to concur with Ben on the time attacks...that is just hot. And red caliper paint (or red BBK upgrade) would look sweet as wellchicken n waffles wrote:i understand.missvenezuela85 wrote:Thanks everyone!

selective hearing
in that post, I also mentioned I had a set of red flaps from the UK that I had for my car (which you can have) if you want something more authentic than RA flaps (which are mostly junk based upon my two sets).
