well a body shop is going to do it, so hopefully there will be no problems.

Silver. I liked your first set that went bad on you.

I think u need to photoshop the colors on your car first to better deside.

djomlas · 06-15-2007, 12:50 PM

Silver, but only Red if your outer lip on your rims is still Red. Can't tell from that picture because the car is moving. Are they stil Red or did you remove it?

Why not just keep the decal thing going? If you have them permanently painted on, won't that possibly make things tough for you one day should you want to sell the car, and the buyer doesn't happen to dig the stripe thing? Everything else you did with the car is pretty much reversible or easily swapped , but this wouldn't be, no? Just a thought.

Oh, but if you're gonna do it, go with the silver. I think it's more subtle than the other options, and blends better with the metallic torquiose.

Exactly! That's why I too used decal meterial. Mine has been on for over a year now and no problems. You have to used a good glossy metalic type of meterial for it to last and not come off. None of that cheap stuff!

well....the decal took out a chunk of my paint, so even when i put a new decal on there you can see the clearcoat peeling trough, a bad outline, so decal or not it looks bad, and its really bothering me.

and when i decide to sell the car...if that guy doesnt like it he can leave, and someone else that does like it will buy it, so i really dont care about that, and yes the red stripe is still on the wheels, when you sell the car the pictures are there, so if you dont like it you dont buy it, simple as that, but yeay it wouldnt be reversible, other than putting a different colored decal over the painted one i guess, so thats why im asking which would look the best on it, as its premanent.

i was thinking of gray/silver if i go with smoked tail lights....and orange if i go amber tail lights, and red if i stay with 550 edition ones.
