Default Secondary Color

I have a black 1996 SC 400

i am putting black 18" rims on it as well with a machined lip



my question is, what should be a secondary color to use with my car...

I would use this color with aftermarket seats, custom dash, painting brakes, engine accents, lights on interior of car etc

A secondary color can be tastefully done for example
1. If your interior is black you can get whatever color stitching any where there is leather.DONT PAINT YOUR DASH OR ANY RANDOM REMOVEABLE PART!
2.Powder coating calipers only on upgraded calipers
3.engine bay is limited to silicone couplers on a turbo set up and valve/spark plug cover no hoses.Please feel free to crazy with polishing.....everything

personal prefrence

and no i'm not painting a damn dragon on the side of thing or something and turning it into a ricer lol

and yes i am making the interior black

notice the term... "secondary" color, i might stitch something into the seats with that color, or make the cluster and ac lights that color etc

you guys are letting your imaginations get wild here, i mean this conservatively, so please give input and not criticism

Dude, I told you before in another thread, you need thicker skin.

You asked for feedback. You got it. While you request others to respect your preferences, you also need to respect theirs. No one was insulting to you in any way.

What I have noticed in nearly 3 years on this forum is that we Lexus owners have a pride in our vehicles unrivaled by most other owners. The majority of owners here prefer to accentuate the classic styling of their car and tend to retain as much of the luxury aspect as possible. That said, you would have to assume that most repsonses would be of that vain.

I appluad you for customizing your vehicle to suit your taste, and that is how it should be. But when asking for comments, remember this: Expect the worst and nothing will shock you.
